I'm going through the documentation and now have some questions.
I would hope that the documentation could be expanded to
include answers to these questions.

a) reference is made to a "lease" which sounds like a mutex
to me.  But its not obvious to me how this should be used.
How does the compare with the pattern that I am more
familiar with

class s : singlton
      mutex m_mutex
...

my_function(...){
    scoped_lock(m_mutex);
   ...
}

OK - I've looked again and I think its clear to me how this
is to be used.

We need a tutorial here !!!!

b) reference is made to boost::restricted which I couldn't
find anywhere.
