In general, you should not use anything in any "detail" namespace -- 
these are internal implementation details (hence the name) and are not 
guaranteed to survive from one release to another.

Most of Boost's public API is usually pretty stable.  (And in cases when 
it's not, it's usually documented.)

Have you read the Boost.Thread library docs at the Boost website?  And 
the Boost release changelogs?
