Boost threading library

I looked the several boost threading doucments including Jeremy Siek's 
synchronization concepts and Bill Kempf's draft implementation. It
looks like the interfaces for lock are like following:
  typedef typename mutex::lock       Guard;
  typedef typename mutex::trylock    TryGuard;
  typedef typename mutex::timedlock  TimedGuard;

Would be better to have a traits to get the type of locks like:
  typedef typename lock_categories<mutex>::lock      Guard;
  typedef typename lock_categories<mutex>::trylock   TryGuard;
  typedef typename lock_categories<mutex>::timedlock TimedGuard;

I did a quick search in boost archive and did not see a discussion on
that in both discussion phases(one was last summer, the other is since
last week). Maybe I missed it.
