[boost] [thread] std::this_thread reference in docs

Hi list.

Since 1.50.0, the Boost.Thread documentation has started making
references to std::this_thread::get_id() like in [1]. This is a bit
strange, considering that the Thead library itself to my knowledge does
not require C++11 (yet).

Is this an accidental change? Should one read this as that the error
condition is not achievable on C++03?

1.49:
Preconditions:
  this->get_id()!=boost::this_thread::get_id()

1.50 (and 1.51):
Preconditions:
  the thread is joinable.
Error Conditions:
  resource_deadlock_would_occur: if deadlock is detected or
  this->get_id() == std::this_thread::get_id().
