My understanding is that this is a property of the database
as such. Share modes have their rules, as do byte range
locks and possibly others.

This logic (essentially the share_mode_conflict loop) has to
be coded in the DMASTER, and it needs to be aware about the
DB semantics. Not nice and clean, but fast :-)

P.S: We could encode the rules in Javascript in the DB or
so....

P.P.S: This was a JOKE! :-)
