Comment (by MikeNGarrett):

 We talked through this proposal this morning. The ideas of merging
 settings changes seems like a much larger step forward than making the
 locking mechanism more generic.

 I think the best initial approach would be to make the locking mechanism
 available to all developers where someone could specify a unique string to
 "lock" and a checking mechanism.

 As an example of this functionality, we could implement this for all
 options pages (with exceptions for edit.php, edit-tags.php, etc ).

 To me, that seems like enough of a jump for a future release. In the
 future we can look at handling different sections of a page or merging
 different values from 2 different people editing the page.
