I had occasion to look into the thread documentation after many years.
It was in the course of explaining the benefits of using boost libraries
to a programmer who was unfamiliar with them.

Somehow I remember the old documentation as being much more helpful.
I think I remember tutorials and a faq explaining things why semaphores
weren't inlcuded etc.  I remember finding this to be very helpful. My
original interest in boost was sparked by reading this documentation.

The current system seems more complete and the documention
more formal and correct. But it needs tutorials which explain how
to use the library to solve problems and to explain the examples.
It also needs a section to explain the design decisions.
