That's not entirely true. The package I posted a note about a few
minutes ago does in fact handle this via a means of cooperative
reservation operations. In other words, you can't do it reliably in a
hostile environment, but by enacting a few policy rules (which my app
does) and then adhering to those rules, you can.
