Looking at this again -- this is really `emacs-lock-mode'?
`lock-buffer' does something completely unrelated.

But this is a minor mode, so the prefix arg is taken.  We could add a
`emacs-lock-set-reason' command, but...  would anybody use that?

I've never used `emacs-lock-mode', so I don't know what people er would
use it for.

Any opinions?
