I guess you mean the '*' field, unlike locks it's hard to see how to
combine that with another column. I still prefer one column for
locks.

Some other letter? 'H' for 'lock Held' perhaps, 'O' for 'Other lock',
'E' for 'someone Else', we have lots to choose from.

I didn't see 'S' in your proposal, but I don't like letters being
reused. If the letters are different I can scan the status output, or
the help text, and quickly recognise the token, if a token is reused
it's harder.

A stolen lock is also broken, I don't see a problem.
Ah, I see now that you were refering to the locking-ui.txt proposal
for 'S', 'T', etc.
