[Nano-devel] RFC: should restricted mode disallow --locking?

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi all,

In restricted mode (-R, --restricted), nano goes to great lengths
to prevent the user from opening or accessing any file that was
not given on the command line: nanorc files are not read, backup
files are not made, history files are not read nor written, the
file browser and spell checking and the linter are disabled...

*But*, the option -G (--locking) is still available, so nano will
read and/or write a lock file for each file given on the command
line.

Should this be disabled too?  Or is file locking somehow useful
when in restricted mode?
