Supplying a null `lock` has no effect. The behavior is undefined unless the state of `lock` (if non‐null) is consistent with `alreadyLockedFlag`. Note that `alreadyLockedFlag` is used to indicate whether `lock` is in an already‐locked state when passed, so if `alreadyLockedFlag` is `true` the `lock` method will _not_ be called on the supplied `lock`. Also note that `lock` must remain valid throughout the lifetime of this guard, or until `release` is called.
