how to do simple exclusive open (locking mechanism), without using t

Not every OS supports it, that's why it's not part of Core.

Could a way of locking names instead of files be portable?
How the locks are implemented would be hidden,
but one could say »i want a lock for clean-path %asdf.r«,
and some sort of ipc could be used to secure that?
Not blocking the file, just reporting
»name is locked by another rebol«.
Would be enough for most uses?

Yes, extremely tricky. It sometimes depends on the particular OS versions
and even the type of installation and filesystems whether locking works.
