Visual feedback that a spreadsheet sheet is protected

There is no visual feedback that a spreadsheet sheet is protected (afaics), a simple suggestion for feedback would be to display a lock symbol in the sheet tab when the sheet is protected. I've seen a few users confused as to why they cannot rename a sheet or make edits when they load a document where sheets are preset as protected.
IMO a very good idea. You could even think about unlocking the sheet (or showing a PW dialog) if the lock symbol is clicked or double clicked. Adding myself to CC...
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
