  struct detach;
  struct join_if_joinable;

[section:motivation Motivation]
Based on the scoped_thread class defined in C++ Concurrency in Action Boost.Thread defines a thread wrapper class that instead of calling terminate if the thread is joinable on destruction, call a specific action given as template parameter.

While the scoped_thread class defined in C++ Concurrency in Action is closer to strict_scoped_thread class that doesn't allows any change in the wrapped thread, Boost.Thread provides a class scoped_thread that provides the same non-deprecated interface as __thread.

[section:tutorial Tutorial]

Scoped Threads are wrappers around a thread that allows the user to state what to do at destruction time. One of the common uses is to join the thread at destruction time so this is the default behavior. This is the single difference respect to a thread. While thread call std::terminate() on the destructor if the thread is joinable, strict_scoped_thread<> or scoped_thread<> join the thread if joinable.

The difference between strict_scoped_thread and scoped_thread is that the strict_scoped_thread hides completely the owned thread and so the user can do nothing with the owned thread other than the specific action given as parameter, while scoped_thread provide the same interface as __thread and forwards all the operations.   

  boost::strict_scoped_thread<> t1((boost::thread(f)));
  //t1.detach(); // compile fails
  boost::scoped_thread<> t2((boost::thread(f)));
  t2.detach();

RAII __thread wrapper adding a specific destroyer allowing to master what can be done at destruction time.

CallableThread: A callable `void(thread&)`.

The default is a `join_if_joinable`.


Thread destructor terminates the program if the __thread is joinable.
This wrapper can be used to join the thread before destroying it.

RAII __thread wrapper adding a specific destroyer allowing to master what can be done at destruction time.

CallableThread: A callable void(thread&).
The default is join_if_joinable.

Thread destructor terminates the program if the thread is joinable.
This wrapper can be used to join the thread before destroying it. 

Remark: `scoped_thread` is not a __thread as __thread is not designed to be derived from as a polymorphic type.

Anyway `scoped_thread` can be used in most of the contexts a __thread could be used as it has the
same non-deprecated interface with the exception of the construction.

  boost::scoped_thread<> t((boost::thread(F)));
  t.interrupt();
