lock(), flock(),....
The original functions should stay accesible to write wrappers.
Can't do that, unfortunately. The only thing available is what's in the table. The overrides may be done for security or integrity reasons (which'd be quite common in an embedding situation) which means that using the original versions would be a security risk. We shouldn't do that.
