Right, there's no such guarantee/requirement. JVMS mentions that
implementations are permitted to enforce balance (called structured locking

And this proposal would make it impossible to enforce balanced locking.
When we defined the Lock API we thought about whether/how Locks and
built-in monitors might interact and the decision was to keep them
completely distinct.

I don't think this is workable. Exposing a monitor as Lock would allow
you to break the guarantees/requirements involving balanced-locking for

Where are these guarantees/requirements documented?
