Queue Class does not have an easily acessible "queue-time" member variable
In the Queue Class I feel as if the "queue-time" member variable should exist under artifacts just like location does. However, I have to traverse artifacts._elems[0]._children[0].text to get the queue time. Can we make this so something like artifacts[0].queue_time works? Thanks.
