Discussion:
Addresses FI 8, GB 61The class template lock_guard was made variadic. This is abi-breaking, and confusing because one-argument
lock_guards have a typedef mutex_type but lock_guards with more than one argument don't. There's
no need to try to shoehorn this functionality into one type.
Proposed change: Revert the changes to lock_guard, and introduce a new variadic class template
vlock_guard that doesn't have the mutex_type typedef at all.

This was the subject of intense discussion in Issaquah, and a joint LEG/LEWG session agreed on this approach.
