This is a subclass of String so it is compatible with
IO#fcntl without needing to modify io.c for systems
that don't have POSIX file locks.

=begin
This revised patch makes the API easier to use with the
following changes:

• renamed Fcntl::Flock -> Fcntl::Lock
• Fcntl::Lock.synchronize {} and Fcntl::Lock.get helpers
• ability to specify constants via :symbol (like 1.9.2+ Socket)
• RDoc + examples
