That'd be nice to have, certainly ...

Iwould appreciate it if you could review the implementation and provide feedback.
... but I think this patch has no hope of being adequately portable.
It seems extremely specific to one particular C++ implementation
(unless you can show that every single thing you've used here is
in the C++ standard), and then for good measure you've thrown in
a new dependency on pthreads. On top of that, doesn't this
require us to move our minimum language requirement to C++-something?
We just barely got done deciding C99 was okay to use.
