[cpp-threads] N2800's C/C++MM and read-write locking

Unless I've somehow missed it, N2800 doesn't offer any support for
read-write locking in the sense of allowing different reordering
constraints for read locking operations vs write locking operations...
to begin with, think of rwlock.{rd}unlock() for holders of read locks
and preceding stores, abusive use of rwlocks aside for a moment. Why
is that? TIA.

alexander.
