Would a '*' that acts like --lockref on a per ref basis address your concerns?

I realize that that design would hurt a project of making '+' use lockref automatically some day. I think that's ok, and that '+' meaning "push whatever I have, regardless of what's on the other end, and I mean it" would be better semantics in the long term (which doesn't match the current behavior either :/).
