Sorry, I was maybe not clear enough, and you may hate me: I don't like 
`guard(mutex)` :‑(. I proposed scoped_guard because it makes very clear 
when the mutex is taken/released.

For me guard(mutex) is almost the same as mutex_lock/unlock. Yes, your 
mutex is always released, but:
- without reading the code carefully, you don't know you have a mutex 
(even worse than a mutex_lock because you don't have a bunch of 
mutex_unlock to remind you)
- you keep it until the end of the function, which may lock your mutex 
for too long

The scoped_guard solves the two issues:
- you are in a dedicated block + indentation, so it is very easy to see 
that you currently have a mutex
- you know exactly when the mutex is released: leaving the block

I am very sorry to make you work twice on this
