Description

The CacheLockProvider.lock method (in both of its implementations) has strange behavior. It silently ignores re-entrant lock requests which obviously causes problems on unlocking. The weird behavior is in place for BlockingCache. We should rename the method to reflects its strangeness, and provide a regular lock method as well.

The Sync.lock method now has proper reentrant semantics and BlockingCache now uses a new query method on the Sync instead.
