I think of it as focus.
An inset that is locked demands that many operations should be requested
of it first. For example, updates on insets.
The top-level is bv->theLockingInset(). For example, entering the non-red-box
part of a top-level insettabuler sets the tabular as the locking inset.
All "containing" insets each have a the_locking_inset member as well - this
indicates the contained inset that is locked, if one exists. One example would
be a red-boxed cell - here an InsetText is InsetTabular::the_locking_inset, and
(I think) bv->theLockingInset() is the InsetTabular.
The stuff is confusing ...
