Wow, you guys have been busy. I see what happens when I have to lurk for a week. So, I understand that the prevaling opinion is that we should drop try_lock and timed_lock in favor of one all-encompasing scoped lock. Are we going to eliminate variations of Mutex as well, or will mutex/try_mutex/timed_mutex still exist? I recognize that Howard's spec is only a proposal, but there's been a lot of good work in it. Well done. Christopher -- Christopher Currie <codemonkey@gmail.com>
