Only in the docs for the Mutex ctor here:

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/core_sync_mutex.html

By the way, when using Mutex as an object monitor you currently can't attach dispose event handlers to the object (ie. via std.signals).  That functionality is only supported by the default monitor.  I've considered changing this, but doing so imposes some weird requirements on the creators of an external object monitor, like Mutex.
