+ *  This for-cycle employs heavy magic to hide as much of the boilerplate
+ *  from the user as possibly needed. Here is how it works.
+ *
+ *  First, the for-1 clause is executed, setting up _pobj, to the private
+ *  object pointer. It has a cleanup hook set.
+ *
+ *  Then, the for-2 clause is checked. As _pobj is non-NULL, _pobj->locked_at
+ *  is initialized to the _pobj address to ensure that the cleanup hook unlocks
+ *  the right object.
+ *
+ *  Now the user block is executed. If it ends by break or return, the cleanup
+ *  hook fires for _pobj, triggering object unlock.
+ *
+ *  If the user block executed completely, the for-3 clause is run, executing
+ *  the cleanup hook directly and then deactivating it by setting _pobj to NULL.
+ *
+ *  Finally, the for-2 clause is checked again but now with _pobj being NULL,
+ *  causing the loop to end. As the object has already been unlocked, nothing
+ *  happens after leaving the context.
+ *
+ *  #define FOO_LOCKED(foo, fpp)	LOBJ_LOCKED(foo, fpp, foo, bar)
+ *
+ *  Then the previous code can be modified like this:
+ *
+ *  void foo_frobnicate_safer(foo *f)
+ *  {
+ *    // Unlocked context
+ *    ...
+ *    FOO_LOCKED(foo, fpp)
+ *    {
+ *	// Locked context, fpp is valid here
+ *
+ *	if (something) return;	// This implicitly unlocks
+ *	if (whatever) break;	// This unlocks too
+ *
+ *      // Finishing context with no unlock at all
+ *    }
+ *
+ *    // Unlocked context
+ *    ...
+ *
+ *    // Locking once again without an explicit block
+ *    FOO_LOCKED(foo, fpp)
+ *	do_something(fpp);
+ *
+ *    // Here is fpp invalid and the object is back unlocked.
+ *    ...
+ *  }
+ *
+ *
+ *  For many reasons, a lock-check macro is handy.
