Not really, but I'm not sure that this motivation makes sense in detail, because we could (I think) provide a null implementation like this in Scheme: (define-module (ice-9 thread-api-even-if-no-threads)) (or (defined? 'try-mutex) (define (try-mutex m) #t)) etc. But perhaps there are other benefits?
