     * @brief Used to extract the first "dispatchable" request from the queue.
     *
     * An instance of this visitor class is used by one of the worker
     * threads to locate the first "dispatchable" request in the queue.  If
     * such a request is visited, then this visitor will save a "copy" of
     * the request, indicate that the request should be removed from the
     * queue, and indicate that visitation should stop.
     *
     * An method is provided to retrieve a "copy" of the "dispatchable"
     * request that was saved off during visitation.  A nil reference
     * (ie, a NULL pointer) will be returned if no dispatchable request
     * was found.
