i was thinking about patching io.c and ext/fcntl/fcntl.c so one could do


   require "fcntl"

   include Fcntl

   lock = Lock::new "type" => F_WRLCK, "whence" => SEEK_CUR

   io.fcntl F_SETLK, lock

etc.

Array#pack is not sufficient since the order of a 'struct lock' cannot be
ensured.

thoughts?
