//!upgradable_lock is meant to carry out the tasks for read-locking, unlocking,
//!try-read-locking and timed-read-locking (recursive or not) for the Mutex.
//!Additionally the upgradable_lock can transfer ownership to a scoped_lock
//!using transfer_lock syntax. The Mutex need not supply all of the functionality.
//!If the client of upgradable_lock<Mutex> does not use functionality which the
//!Mutex does not supply, no harm is done. Mutex ownership can be shared among
//!read_locks, and a single upgradable_lock. upgradable_lock does not support
//!copy semantics. However upgradable_lock supports ownership transfer from
//!a upgradable_locks or scoped_locks via transfer_lock syntax.
