I see your arguments. But I still think duration-based sleep should be
part of Boost.Thread. Most of the time I prefer relative sleep over
absolute sleep simply because it's a one-liner and sufficient for my
all-day-need.
I agree with you that absolute sleep is indispensable in certain
situations. Therefor Boost.Thread should provide *both* interfaces.
Boost.Filesystem provides some convenience functions in convenience.hpp.
Maybe something similar in Boost.Thread would be the right place for this?
