Sleeping on a contended mutex is implemented in this way. But that's

This is why, while advertizing itself as a cool "don't care" feature, a mutex is problematic: the programmer should make sure contention is exceptional and there is no risk of dead-lock. This leads, in my opinion, to a rather restrictive usage of mutexes.
