Allow #f as timeout argument to unlock-mutex and SRFI-18 mutex-unlock!
Reported by Chaos Eternal <chaoseternal@shlug.org>
Based on a patch by Nala Ginrut <nalaginrut@gmail.com>
* libguile/threads.c (scm_unlock_mutex_timed): If 'timeout' argument
is false, interpret that as no timeout.
* doc/ref/api-scheduling.texi (Mutexes and Condition Variables):
Update documentation.
