sure no problem.  the prototypes you suggested are imo the way to go,
with two small considerations:

is it worth considering using the  oid type instead of int4 since the
'locktag' fields are unsigned?
also, the userlocks raised a warning if you tried to release a
non-existing lock.  should that stay or go?

ok, thats a good compromise.
