Sounds highly plausible.  It's hard to construct an argument where
locking a single file with multiple different mechanisms is the right
answer.

It's fairly easy to get inconsistent shell options, however.  I suppose
we could think about simple tests to see if it looks like it's been
locked a different way and print a warning.
