[boost] Boost.Threads inconsistency question

The Boost.Threads documentation states that the ScopedTimedLock concept 
is a refinement of the ScopedTryLock concept; however, the 
boost::timed_mutex::scoped_timed_lock class, which is supposed to be a 
model of the ScopedTimedLock concept, doesn't define the various try_* 
methods.

In your opinion, should the documentation be changed to state that the 
ScopedTimedLock concept is a refinement of the ScopedLock (rather than 
ScopedTryLock) concept, or should the 
boost::timed_mutex::scoped_timed_lock class implement the various try_* 
methods?

(FYI: a similar situation applies to 
boost::recursive_timed_mutex::scoped_timed_lock and 
boost::timed_read_write_mutex::scoped_timed_lock).
