I seriously thought about deferred. The word, whatever it is, if
standardized, would be at namespace scope in namespace std. I was
worried about it conflicting, or with its use not being easily
associated with locks if it was just "deferred". Otoh, it is only a
tag. Maybe it is a feature, not a bug for "deferred" to be able to
influence (conflict with) things other than locks! Thanks for the
second thought.
