`release` sounds like `unlock` as in `acquire/release` is similar to `lock/unlock`.
So I think we need a different name there.

I'm not sure about backward compatibility, but I would think it's fine to change the return value here as probably almost nothing uses it.

----------------------------------------
Bug #16608: ConditionVariable#wait should return false when timeout exceeded
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16608#change-84196

* Author: shugo (Shugo Maeda)
* Status: Assigned
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The following program prints `false` on Ruby 1.8, but `true` on Ruby 1.9 or later.

```
require "monitor"
m = Monitor.new
c = m.new_cond
m.synchronize { p c.wait(0.1) }
```

However, it's not critical because most programs check the condition after wait.
