Patch - locking of individual posts (General)

Hello!

I find that mostly when a thread needs to be locked it is due to a dispute that is no longer constructive. There can however be very interesting discussions at other places in the same thread. Locking of the whole thread thus seems to be somewhat less granular than what maybe is wanted.

I have made a patch for 2.0 beta 25, I haven't tried it on the RC, that does this. It allows locking of individual posts as well as locking of subthreads (that is; a post and all posts below it). It is fairly simple, since locking of a thread in the main release really just locks all posts in the thread. It also adds a "lock" symbol after the subject and time stamp in the complete thread view (which is also the only place where subthread locking can be done) if the post is locked.

Is anyone interested? Is there any interest in adding this to the dev branch of 2.0?

Regards,
Erik
