Hi Bill,

Ok, so what I get from what you are saying is that try-locking also needs
to be treated orthogonally.

Here's one question. Is there anything to be gained by bundling the
different locking mechanisms (basic, try, timed) into a single mutex
class. Would it be simpler to have separate mutex classes for each?

Bill, perhaps you could post a revision of the table below showing
what you envision?

About the unchecked semantics... I'm not sure why you have
both "unchecked" and "unspecified". Why not just have "unspecified"?

Cheers,
Jeremy
