New description:

 Currently there are some differences between Boost.Thread and
 Boost.Interprocess concerning the shared synchronization interfaces.

 The following references could be taken as a base to choose the final
 names [http://home.roadrunner.com/~hinnant/bloomington/shared_mutex.html

 Shared locking in C++ - Howard Hinnant proposal draft] and
 [http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2094.html N2094
 Multithreading API for C++0X - A Layered Approach].
