What's the problem this feature will solve?
Proper ecosystem-standard lock files are getting traction yet again and we have to keep up. This will allow us to work with more ecosystem tooling than just pip, uniformly covering more use cases. And personally, I'm just thrilled to see this PEP implemented across the Python Packaging ecosystem.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implementation of whatever's possible, including both lock file types. The feature should be marked as experimental until PEP 751 is marked as accepted. But it should give people opportunity to try it out and perhaps feed the feedback back into the upstream discussion.
