Thanks for the great comments Zach.  owns_mutex() or some other  
suggestion sounds fine to me too.

I put transfer_lock into <shared_mutex> which is TR2-targeted.  The  
std::lock and std::try_lock algorithms are in <mutex>, actually in the  
implementation <mutex_base> header, and targeted towards C++0X.  Some  
of the other examples are just meant to be example client code (like  
mutex_debug).  If you have a burning desire to get one of them into C+ 
+0X or TR2, please let me know.
