Hmm, true.  This could be solved by a hierarchy of locks and unlocks, the 
last one wins.  E.g. with

lock:a*
unlock:ab*
lock:abcde

all a* would be locked, except the ab* which are not locked, except abcde 
which is locked again.

But this quickly gets out of hand for no big benefit (not many people are 
writing regex locks).

Hmm.  Ugly.  I kind of liked the possibility of the regex locks, though 
this was only supported if written by hand, and interacted strangely with 
locks from the GUI.  Does anybody have convincing use-cases for regex 
locks (i.e. any other than abstract niceness)?


Ciao,
Michael.
