I just remembered another problem that someone else pointed out when this
was discussed a while back--using exceptions for thread cancellation would
mean that you would have to make sure that you never called any cancellation
points (directly or indirectly) from a destructor. That's a much bigger
concern--we couldn't even have scoped_lock then, not and also have robust
cancellation.
