 Mutex are generic classes that work well when generic programming.
 Sometimes, in a OOP context, it is useful to be able to use
 polymorphically any model of a lockable.

 A poly_lockable class that defines the lockable interface could be added
 as well as an poly_lockable_adapter to make any Lockable inherit from
 poly_lockable.
