<para>The scoped lock idiom is well-discussed within the C++
community. This version takes a <code>__mutex</code> reference, and
locks it during construction of <code>__scoped_locke</code> and
locks it during construction of <code>__scoped_lock</code> and
unlocks it during destruction. This is an efficient way of locking
critical sections, while retaining exception-safety.
These types have been superseded in the ISO C++ 2011 standard by the
mutex and lock types defined in the header

<para>The semantics of member function <code>operator[]</code> are not specified
in the C++ standard. A long-standing defect report calls for sensible
obvious semantics, which are already implemented here: <code>op[]</code>

<code>reference</code> (a nested type). However, this implementation does
no range-checking on the index argument, which is in keeping with other
