/* 
 * The Answers module allow questions to be "locked", meaning that users are no longer permitted to 
 * provide new answers to them.
 *
 * The logic about *which* questions to lock may be set by developers or by other modules. For example,
 * the Best Answer module locks questions after a Best Answer is selected while the (under construction) 
 * Expire Questions module locks questions after they have passed an expiration date.
 *
 * To support locking, this file provides a hook and some utility functions.
 *
 * The hook:
 *   - hook_answers_lock_question_p: Modules that want to set or release locks should define this hook. It returns TRUE
 *     if a question should be locked.
 *
 * The utility functions:
 *   - answers_lock_question: Lock a question
 *   - answers_unlock_question: Unlock a question
 *   - answers_reset_question_locks: Cycle through all questions and reset their locks. (This can be required when, e.g.,
 *     a global policy is changed. For example, an administrator may change the policy in the Best Answers module to lock
 *     questions after a Best Answer is selected. When this happens, the module calls this function to update the locks.).
