Description

In the Document:

http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/doc/html/thread/synchronization.html#thread.synchronization.lock_concepts

In definition of externally_locked: externally_locked is a model of Lockable, it cloaks an object of type T, and actually provides full access to that object through the get and set member functions, provided you pass a reference to a strict lock object.

It should be "it locks an object" instead of "cloaks an object".

Similarily, in Effects section of externally_locked: Constructs an externally locked object copying the cloaked reference.

It should be "copying the locked reference" instead of "copying the cloaked reference"
