/**
 * The stack object for automatic locking and unlocking.
 *
 * This is a helper class for automatic locks, to simplify
 * requesting a RTLockMtx and to not forget releasing it.
 * To request a RTLockMtx, simply create an instance of RTLock
 * on the stack and pass the mutex to it:
 *
 * @code
    extern RTLockMtx gMtx;     // wherever this is
    ...
    if (...)
    {
        RTLock lock(gMtx);
        ... // do stuff
        // when lock goes out of scope, destructor releases the mutex
    }
   @endcode
 *
 * You can also explicitly release the mutex by calling RTLock::release().
 * This might be helpful if the lock doesn't go out of scope early enough
 * for your mutex to be released.
