Given this code:
typedef struct Foo Foo;
struct Foo {
int flag;
Lock;
} *foo;
C11 allows you to write `lock(foo->Lock)`, or to directly access named
members of `struct Lock` as if they were members of `struct Foo`. An
early draft of the feature did allow `lock(foo)`, but that was
rejected (I don't know why).
