I digress but my autistic brain couldn't help itself. Provided that it's a recursive lock you could do this instead of adding a new method `foo.BarBaz`

    foo.lock {
        value = foo.bar() // foo.lock within this method is ignored
        if(value.bat()) {
            foo.baz() // foo.lock within this method is ignored
        }
    }
Also, to catch this bug early, you could assert foo is locked in `value.bat` or something. But that may or may not be feasible depending on how the codebase is structured
