Composer 1.10.0 introduced a lock config option, which, when set to false will prevent a composer.lock file from being created and will ignore it when one exists.
This is a useful option for libraries such as this where the lock file has no meaning.
It also makes life easier for contributors as they don't have to remember that for this repo they should use composer update instead of composer install. Both will now work the same.
