It's interesting that this took so long to move to user mode. These exact
APIs, as well as the doubly-linked equivalents, have been available in the
NT DDK since day one.

I agree. Sometimes it's beyond me why it takes ages for useful API to surface. In Vista there are even more useful objects like one-time initialization or condition variables. Alas, these functions are late for at least 10 years. Nobody writes against Win32 API anymore.
