Well, from the user (PHP code) level it is not a lock at all. The localized
flocking is purely for internal consistency of the individual read or write
operation, in that case.
That's why I wanted to have 'unlocked' in the name. And for such a dangerous
option (*) I think that a very expressive long name would be a good fit.
