Hi Ludovic,

The type predicates would be additions to the core API, not
modifications to it.  The addition of timeouts to the mutex and
condition variable functions could be done by creating new functions
(scm_lock_mutex_timed, scm_wait_condition_variable_timed) instead of
modifying the signatures of the existing ones.  Would that be okay?

Julian
