Hmm yes, this could be a tough one.  Most of the other places where  
interfaces were introduced were internal stuff, so it wouldn't make a  
difference - InvocationContext is exposed though.  The interface is  
needed though to be able to provide different behaviour for different  
locking schemes.  Perhaps making it an abstract class instead will  
have to be the way to go.  Ugly, but ...
