Rationale: 1. The requested functionality is a power user feature, requiring users to have clear understanding of what they do and what are the drawbacks (e.g. possible conflicts on simultaneous edits on filesystems without in-built locking present, or absent information about who has locked the file on another system). 2. Since version 4.2, we have Expert Configuration feature [1] allowing one to set different power-user settings from Options; since version 5.0, the feature allows searching [2], making it easier to search for needed settings. Find the feature on Options->LibreOffice->Advanced->Open Expert Configuration. 3. The requested functionality is already present using 'org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc/UseLocking' setting (controlling creation of lockfiles and using locking in general), and 'org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc/UseDocumentOOoLockFile' setting (controlling whether the present lockfile will be considered when deciding if the file is locked by someone else). For curious, the details about effects of the settings are in function SfxMedium::LockOrigFileOnDemand [3].
