In #3547, we discussed terminology around the data and functions used to ensure that key slots are not invalidated while they are in use. This is currently a usage counter, but will become more complex when we add protection against race conditions in multithreaded systems (#3263). See:

The goal of this task is to improve the documentation and possibly the name of the functions. These are purely internal interfaces, so we can change them at any time.

Related: #5084 which adds mutexes, making “lock” effectively ambiguous.
