Yes, although if I'm doing this for PR, I need to use language which is
standard in the industry or I won't be understood. What about
"high-concurrency pessimistic locking mechanism"?
I don't have a problem covering this in PR even though it's not really "new":
a) it's never been in our PR before;
b) while it's been available for 4+ versions, who knew about it?
c) we have a new refactored code and cleaned up API
