Is try_unique_lock a new lock type? How is it different from unique_lock
with try_to_lock argument?
The single difference is that the constructor will try to lock instead
of lock the mutex. If nobody needs it I just deprecate
Mutex::scoped_try_lock and signal in the doc that the user can use a
unique_lock using the try_lock_t tag.
IMHO, there is no need for this separate lock type, the same can be achieved 
with unique_lock.
