Nobu,

I see now that you're the author of Mutex#sleep.

Would you object to a version of ConditionVariable#wait which followed
the behavior of Mutex#sleep, but did not raise TimeoutError?

(Perhaps it could return the result of Mutex#sleep, or a boolean, so
that the caller can determine whether a timeout occurred.)
