OK, Jakub thinks it's better to change this now, not for 4.9.1, so if
the testsuite all passes (which it should do) then please go ahead and
commit this to trunk.

I'd prefer something descriptive for the ChangeLog entry rather than
the sed command, maybe just move your first line to be the comment for
the header change:

    * include/std/shared_mutex: Rename shared_mutex to shared_timed_mutex.
