Research direction

Start by reading issue #986 and PR #991, then inspect the DataStructures tests for Deque and CircularDeque and run the nightly Julia CI job. Done means coverage exercises pop! and popfirst! for both types and catches the reported regression.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Issue #986 is not caught by the DataStructures CI, even when a job is run for nightly Julia. See PR #991, on which all checks pass, even though PR #991 adds nightly Julia CI configurations. That implies the DataStructures test suite may need better coverage.
