For me the difference between Mutex and Monitor is only reentrancy.  Other than that I'd have expected them to be identical (usage and interface).

I would have expected that I can use a Monitor / instance which includes MonitorMixin the same way as a Mutex with ::ConditionVariable.  If that is not intended then I'd rather have an exception TypeError from ::ConditionVariable#wait indicating that a Mutex must be used than the exception about the private sleep method (which happens to be the one from Kernel).
