	synchronized(<Object>) statement;

But sometimes I want to be able to detect (and avoid) deadlocks, and it 
would be nice to be able to do that with the same synchronized() syntax.

How about this:
	try_synchronized(<Object>) statement; else statement;
(the 'else' runs if you can't immediately grab the lock).

Or else, is ther already some way to do this, Walter?
