Comment(by viboes):

 The this_thread::sleep prototype is


 {{{
     template<typename TimeDuration>
     void sleep(TimeDuration const& rel_time);
 }}}

 The TimeDuration you can pass as parameter must be one for which
 system_time+TimeDuration is defined.

 You are right that this should be documented. BTW the interface for
 thread::sleep is

 {{{
     void thread::sleep(system_time const& abs_time);
 }}}

 Anthony, to be coherent, shouldn't you add the absolute time interface on
 the namespace this_thread?
 Waiting fro Boost.Chrono, what about adding

 {{{
 void sleep(system_time const& abs_time);
 void sleep_until(system_time const& abs_time);
 template <class TimeDuration>
 void sleep_for(TimeDuration const& rel_time);
 }}}
