+/// Find missing unlocks.  This semantic match considers the specific case
+/// where the unlock is missing from an if branch, and there is a lock
+/// before the if and an unlock after the if.  False positives are due to
+/// cases where the if branch represents a case where the function is
+/// supposed to exit with the lock held, or where there is some preceding
+/// function call that releases the lock.
