tbh I would use (and I think have used) drop() for this just because I know drop exists and what it does but Mutex::unlock is something I'd only ever know about if I went and scanned the whole Mutex page on rustdoc. I like the idea of these sorts of "drop-with-semantics" functions, but in practice until/unless they add a way to `impl !Drop` (or maybe `#[deprecated]` on a trait impl so you can add a deprecation note on your `impl Drop`) on a type, I'm not sure they're worth it.
