Okay, I guess that makes sense. Sorry, I thought the "unlocked"
variant might refer to a function that you have to pay close attention
to the context in which it is called; with as many functions as I have
that require the lock to be held, I would like there to be some way to
say the function is "unsafe," but I guess if there is no convention to
do that, then there is no convention to do that.
