* Returns IDENT which will be initialized

* this macro merely returns IDENT.
* IDENT is considered uninitialized, if it contains nil.
* CLASSNAME must be either NSLock, NSRecursiveLock or one
* of their subclasses.
* See [NSLock+newLockAt:] for details.
* This macro is intended for code that cannot insure
* that a lock can be initialized in thread safe manner otherwise.
* <example>
* NSLock *my_lock = nil;
*
* void function (void)
* {
* [GS_INITIALIZED_LOCK(my_lock, NSLock) lock];
* do_work ();
* [my_lock unlock];
