Thread-safe STL-compatible Wrapper Container

scoped_unlock().

Why would anyone bother? It would be totally useless.

The concept of locking function calls will never make an iteration
thread-safe in a way that the result is well defined. Iterating over a
changing collection is intrinsically thread-unsafe.
