I'm not sure if Juanjo is immediately available (if I remember he
previously wrote about a conference he had to attend).

I agree that the documentation needs to be updated on various aspects,
including the threads API.

Meanwhile, by looking at src/c/threads_mutex.d, it seems that MAKE-LOCK
supports the :RECURSIVE key which if T should create a recursive mutex.

Thanks,
