Actually, I just remembered sys.exitfunc!  I can set that up to unlock
a locked list automatically at interpreter exit.  I don't want it to
implicitly save the list though -- you'll still have to do that
manually if you fiddle with it from the interpreter prompt.

Note that this function doesn't run if the interpreter exits because
of a signal or os._exit() call.
