Detailed Description

Operations need the ability to lock and unlock resources, but no additional access privilege is required.

We therefore use the PassKey pattern to grant Operation access to a resource's lock. Outside of operations, if you need to acquire a lock you must use a smtk::resource::ScopedLockSetGuard to ensure that locks are freed. Do not ever use the "new" operator to construct a ScopedLockSetGuard, as leaking it could cause deadlocks.
