If you just call it in main, constructors can't use anything that needs
to be locked.

As a stopgap solution, the locker itself could be a constructor for a
static object. You'd put a single instance of that object in a file,
preferably the first file linked. That would also let you only include
the library code when you had stuff to lock.

Indeed.
