I'll confess to writing that non-normative Note, my attempt to unpack
the Precondition. You are correct that the Note overlooks the case in
which the condition variable becomes idle and is then reused by a
consistent set of waiters on an entirely different mutex. The
Precondition states the actual requirement.
