\brief Extremely Light-Weight guard class.
\details Auto-lock/unlock-er
detail/guard.hpp provides a type guard<Mutex>
that allows scoped access to the Mutex's locking and unlocking operations.
It is used to ensure that a Mutex is unlocked, even if an exception is thrown.

/*! Example:
Given a (platform-specific) mutex class, we can wrap code as follows:
extern mutex global_lock;
static void f()
{
boost::details::pool::guard<mutex> g(global_lock);
// g's constructor locks "global_lock"
... // do anything:
// throw exceptions
// return
// or just fall through
} // g's destructor unlocks "global_lock"
