 I'd like to request an unlock_guard class template to complement
 lock_guard.
 I wonder if it is any more involved than the attached patch.
 A unique_unlock class template may be nice as well, but an unlock_guard
 seems sufficient.

 Is there a known reason it was left out of the proposal for the C++0x
 thread library, or is it a simple oversight?  I don't see any reference to
 it in the documents.
