In many cases they don't even correlate to SQL locking options at all (notion of "force" e.g.). This leads to some awkwardness like the whole {{LockOptions#aliasSpecificLockModes}} stuff. Also, it leads to awkwardness with Dialects and attempts to acquire SQL locks. This needs some discussion -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
