This, acquire/release are RCpc, while (with the exception of Power) LOCK/UNLOCK are RCsc. ( Or did we settle on RCtso for our release/acquire order? I have vague memories of a long-ish thread, but seem to have forgotten the outcome, if any. ) Lots of subtlety and head-aches right about there. Anyway, it would be awesome if we can get Power into the RCsc locking camp :-)
