It doesn't seem to work?

  [~] 0 $ ( flock -n 9 || exit 1; echo in loop ; sleep 3 ; echo done working ; ) 9>~/tmp/mylock
  in loop
  done working
  [~] 0 $ (; flock -n 9 || exit 1; echo in loop ; sleep 3 ; echo done working ; ) 9>~/tmp/mylock
  -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
  [~] 2 $

(This is bash)
