In implementing some of the missing parts of thread_safe_signals, I noticed 
that boost::signal provides a non-const combiner() function.  In it's 
current form, it can't be made thread-safe against signal invocation.  Is 
it worth changing the prototype from

combiner_type& combiner();

to 

void set_combiner(const combiner_type &);

so the combiner can only be modified while holding the appropriate lock?
