Although I understand this proposal does not address locks (among others), holding a lock is most definitely holding a "true resource".

If people feel that the locking case is important, I encourage them to pursue it with another proposal. I suspect that it won't be difficult to write. But I am less certain that it will pay for itself. I believe that the cost-benefit ratio for "true resources" is much higher than for locks. When Doug was working on JSR 166 we discussed linguistic support, but he never really felt the need.
