 In C++14 the std::shared_mutex class has been renamed to
 std::shared_timed_mutex ( http://www.open-

 std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n3891.htm ) and a non-timed
 shared_mutex has been proposed ( http://www.open-

 std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n4241.htm ). In order to remain
 compatible to C++14 the boost thread library could have
 boost::shared_timed_mutex be the same as the current boost::shared_mutex
 and could deprecate the current use of boost::shared_mutex. Deprecating
 the use of boost::shared_mutex in favor of boost::shared_timed_mutex would
 enable end-users to change their usage of boost::shared_mutex to
 boost::shared_timed_mutex until such time when boost::shared_mutex is
 recoded as a non-timed shared mutex class.
