1)
The document speaks about both:
a) mutex with public lock unlock and
b) moveable locks.

What does public lock unlock provide, that cannot be achieved with 
moveable locks also?

2)
The example in Q2 uses a statically initialized mutex, but the reference 
implementation shows the mutex has a ctor. How is this supposed to be 
made thread-safe?
