I can't confirm this. If it were true, they would have documentation for it.
But a web search for "mtx_lock site:microsoft.com" returns no meaningul
results.

Yes, working like this is tedious.

?? What do you mean? You have imported the 'threads' module, and it provides
a <threads.h> file.

When I create a testdir for the 'threads' module and build it on mingw,
all tests pass, except for a hanging 'test-nanosleep'.

Maybe you are lacking a -I directive to the build directory where threads.h
has been generated?
