I'm predicting that in the near future all non-trivial objects the
programming language offers (esp. C++ & STL) will have
some built-in synchronization methods for the user, like:
  Lock()
  Unlock()
  TryLock()
  IsLocked()
  GetLockCount()
And most probly the locking will be done by using recursive mutices internally.
