Request for shared_lock_guard

[Andrey Semashev]

It would be nice to have a lighter alternative for the shared_lock template, similar to the lock_guard alternative for the unique_lock.

Something like that?

    template<typename Mutex>
    class shared_lock_guard
    {
    private:
        Mutex& m;

        explicit shared_lock_guard(shared_lock_guard&);
        shared_lock_guard& operator=(shared_lock_guard&);
    public:
        explicit shared_lock_guard(Mutex& m_):
            m(m_)
        {
            m.lock_shared();
        }
        shared_lock_guard(Mutex& m_,adopt_lock_t):
            m(m_)
        {}
        ~shared_lock_guard()
        {
            m.unlock_shared();
        }
    };

[Andrey Semashev]

Yes, exactly.
