Does it have to be in 'std'? Cannot that be under 'scoped_lock'? Do not have the docs handy. Won't lookup mechanism pick it up?

scoped_lock lk1(m, defer_lock); // not locked ^^^^ ^^^^

Redundant. "deferred" is better.

I seriously thought about deferred. The word, whatever it is, if standardized, would be at namespace scope in namespace std. I was worried about it conflicting, or with its use not being easily associated with locks if it was just "deferred". Otoh, it is only a tag. Maybe it is a feature, not a bug for "deferred" to be able to influence (conflict with) things other than locks! Thanks for the second thought.
