Comment(by anonymous):

 Thanks for the answer. With this explanation in mind, the documentation
 and the code-blocks in "Effects" make more sense.

 However, the only thing in the written documentation to suggest this
 behaviour are the words  "or spuriously" for both wait() and timed_wait().
 If you're aware of POSIX CV-semantics, it's understood. If you aren't
 (like I was), it's easy to miss this detail. Maybe it would be helpful to
 point this out more authoritatively.
