+Simple Text Queue
+=================
+
+Why `tea` ???
+
+- Because I love tea.
+
+History
+=======
+
+Normally, if you have a worker writing to standard output every file
+processed, you could write something like this::
+
+ find -iname '*.ext' > queue.txt
+ cat queue.txt | worker > done.txt
+ # here you can interrupt the service at any time (Ctrl-C/SIGTERM)
+ comm -23 queue.txt done.txt > remaining_queue.txt
+
+But if this is something you want to do again and again, it might be
+convenient to write a little wrapper to do it for us. This is how teaqueue is
+born.
