Fair enough. My most common use is for automatically

with possible a while-loop around the unlock/lock code. From this, I have seen it as a coding error if I call lock without an unlock but this probably isn't the same for everyone.
This looks like a motivating example for scoped_unlock. :-)
Yes, I've long wanted that. Particularly when the second "do some more" involves a "long" operation that you don't want to hold the lock while it is pending.
