I object strongly to any such "feature" in the low-level form that
Henryk proposes, because it would affect *ALL* locking. Do you really
want all your other transactions to go belly-up if, say, someone vacuums
pg_class?
A variant of LOCK TABLE that explicitly requests a timeout might make
sense, though.
