+This plugin not only locks pages but ensures too a user is logged in. This
+seems to me redundant with signedit. I propose [removing the if block that
+calls needsignin ].

+> That was added because the most typical reason for being unable to edit a
+> page is that you are not logged in. And without the jump to logging the
+> user in, there is no way for the user to log in, without navigating away
+> from the page they were trying to edit. --[[Joey]]
