Actually I think it's rather sick.  Taking O_NONBLOCK and making it a

acquire a clustered filesystem lock".  Not even close.

What would be an acceptable replacement? I admit that O_NONBLOCK -> trylock
is a bit unfortunate, but really it just needs a bit to express that -
nobody over here cares what it's called.
