Why would something like filelock be in the standard library when it's not really standard and easily implemented in a nimble package ?

You can even do better and have a mutex stored in a shared memory in-between process.

@forchid status-im/nim-stew has a working implementation of file locking in nim. It looks like an unstable nimble package though so you'll have to stick to a specific git hash.
