Subject: [boost] [thread] sleep() with time_duration?

If I want a thread to sleep for five seconds the shortest code I could
come up with is:
boost::system_time time = boost::get_system_time();
time += boost::posix_time::seconds(5);
boost::thread::sleep(time);
It would be nice if it was possible to pass a time_duration object to
sleep() directly:
boost::thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));
This would also be consistent with the deadline_timer in Boost.Asio whose
constructor accepts both a time and a time_duration.
