Wow, you guys have been busy. I see what happens when I have to lurk for 
a week.

So, I understand that the prevaling opinion is that we should drop 
try_lock and timed_lock in favor of one all-encompasing scoped lock. Are 
we going to eliminate variations of Mutex as well, or will 
mutex/try_mutex/timed_mutex still exist?

I recognize that Howard's spec is only a proposal, but there's been a 
lot of good work in it. Well done.

Christopher
