Comment (by Volker Prüß <Volker_Pruess@…>):

 When you refer to ''the current behaviour'' you mean that
 boost::this_thread::sleep_for has been mentioned in the list of predefined
 interruption points ? The documentation about sleep_for also says

 ''Suspends the current thread until the duration specified by by rel_time
 has elapsed.''

 Question is which clock is used to measure the ''duration''. I would
 expect that most programmers would intuitively expect a stable clock here.
 But referring to the type of clock in the documentation would do it. So I
 would agree to your suggestion adding another set of methods.
