Thanks Beman for your nice summary.  Having been through the
process of working out how to avoid lost wakeups with events 
several times, and effectively implementing CVs each time as
a result, I for one welcome the decision to initially just
support CVs.

It appears that no-one has indicated any fundamental flaws in 
the design, despite a  somewhat puzzling "I cannot use this" 
attitude, so I suggest we now move on.

One query I had was in the design for TSS.  I guess it's OK
as a starting point, but ideally I'd like to be able to
write

     boost::thread_specific<int> ti( 3 );
     boost::thread_specific<Foo> tf( "bar", 4.5 );
     
     int j = ti.get();
     tf.get().fubar();     

I also don't like "tss".  Can we please avoid TLAs for names?
