Hi Grant,

unfortunately the idea of scoped locking is not mine, but can be found in many 
textbooks on concurrent programming in C++ ;-). All I did was apply it to 
OpenMP and think through how it compares with our own critical-directive. 
Just wanted to mention this in case it was misunderstood...

Thanks for checking out the article anyways,
best regards,
Michael
