OK, you've convinced me: let's try the warning approach. Can you
present a patch for that, please?
As for the tests you posted: too many of them rely on Posix file
modes, and thus will probably either fail or be unable to provide
meaningful testing on MS-Windows. Can we please augment that by tests
that create unlocking problems by, e.g., running a shell command to
remove or rename or otherwise sabotage the lock file, so that the new
functionality could be meaningfully tested on Windows as well?
