// are allowed to be taken. If a lock is acquired, and it is of an incompatible
// rank with the lock held by the executing thread then the system can detect
// the lock order violation and respond appropriately (crash with error).
//
// A thread holding a lower ranked lock cannot acquire a lock of a greater or equal rank.
