How about JoinSuspendibleThreadSet / LeaveSuspendibleThreadSet, example:

{
   JoinSuspendibleThreadSet x;
   ...
}

Both sound very descriptive to me. Alternatively, maybe 
InsideSuspendibleThreadSet / OutsideSuspendibleThreadSet?

I'd love to have something like MutexLocker / MutexUnlocker but I can't 
think of an appropriate noun (SuspendibleThreadSetJoiner?!?!?!? this 
sounds SO wrong!).
