Hmm - so this is essentially the

initially:
    self.counter_lock.acquire()
try:
    ...
finally:
    self.counter_lock.release()

but with the condition that the "parameter" to try implement the =
Lockable interface (or something along those lines).

Interesting idea. Not sure about the syntax, but I think we could go =
somewhere with this.
