/**
 * Requests a random lock that will be released once the optional signal is aborted (or, if no signal is given, when the
 * tab is closed).
 *
 * This allows sending the name of the lock to another context (e.g. a shared worker), which will also attempt to
 * acquire it. Since the lock is returned when the tab is closed, this allows the shared worker to free resources
 * assocatiated with this tab.
 *
 *  We take hold of this lock as soon-as-possible in order to cater for potentially closed tabs.
