Sure. Simon's command string idea might work better, and doing some
extra lock decoration as you suggested in the above thread would be
another level of improvement. We should pick up redesign later on the
main list. You can at least count me in as someone who wants to see
this improved now.
Back to the doc patch I submitted...is that a useful step toward making
this issue visible enough to users for now to help?
