Hi, While reading through the Explicit Locking section of the manual today, I felt the last paragraph of section 13.3.2. (Row-level Locks) might merit its own subsection. It talks about page-level locks as distinct from table- and row-level locks. Then again, it is just one paragraph, so maybe this was deliberate and/or rejected before (though I couldn't find prior discussion off-hand). Proposed patch attached.
