These are indeed better. Readers can now consider whether the guarantees
that are not given indeed may hold for their applications.
E.g. if you know that there is only one consumer thread, then if
.empty() returns False, you know that .get() *will* not block. These
issues all exist only when there are multiple consumers or multiple
producers.
