Nope, his point is that by _not_ using HUNLOCK you leave the handle in
whatever state it was in before you modified it. If you use HLOCK on a
locked handle, no harm done, if you then use HUNLOCK on a handle that was
originally locked you could have problems. HSETSTATE will set the handle to
whatever you got from HGETSTATE, so if it was locked it'll be locked when
you are done, if it was unlocked it'll be unlocked when you are done.
