    """A queue that batches up work, calling the provided processing function
    with all pending work (for a given key).

    The provided processing function will only be called once at a time for each
    key. It will be called the next reactor tick after `add_to_queue` has been
    called, and will keep being called until the queue has been drained (for the
    given key).

    If the processing function raises an exception then the exception is proxied
    through to the callers waiting on that batch of work.

    Note that the return value of `add_to_queue` will be the return value of the
    processing function that processed the given item. This means that the
    returned value will likely include data for other items that were in the
    batch.

        name: A name for the queue, used for logging contexts and metrics.
            This must be unique, otherwise the metrics will be wrong.
