Oh yeah - second note on the locklinks (for lack of a better name) I
just proposed. It might be nice to be able to specify that the file
linked to is to be executed with the rest of the path name (plus data
about the type of access wanted by the opener) as an argument, and it
will return a lock to be handed to the opener. Of course, that's
probably just a pipe dream.
