Additionally, I think that the author and other reviewers are running in circles when it comes to synchronization. IMHO, the event alone is enough and perfectly fine.
It's true that the library could have been designed to rely solely on events. All operations could accept wait_lists and return either an event or a wait_list (for those algorithms with multiple outputs). Since it wasn't done in that way (and I don't mean to imply any judgment, here; I recognize there are benefits to the current design), we're in a position of looking to plug holes in the existing design to enable full exception safety and reduce the set of usage errors that can occur.
