[Boost-users] [boost.threads] condition api question

I'm curious why the boost::condition class requires a seperate mutex object 
to be created, and a corresponding scoped lock argument passed to the wait 
functions.  Wouldn't it be easier to just keep a mutex inside the 
condition object and automatically lock it at the beginning of the wait 
functions?  What am I missing here?
