 * Wrapper class to programmatically protect a structure using a mutex.
 *
 * Mutexed<> objects contain a built-in mutex. Protection is enforced because the structure can
 * only be accessed by locking the mutex first.
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 * struct DataToProtect {
 *   State(int var1) : mVar1(var1), mVar2(0) { }
 *   int mVar1;
 *   int mVar2;
 *   Condition mCondition1;
 * };
 *
 * Mutexed<DataToProtect> mProtectedData;
 *
 * // members are inaccessible via mProtectedData directly
 *
 * void someFunction() {
 *   Mutexed<DataToProtect>::Locked data(mProtectedData); // access the protected data
 *
 *   // the mutex is locked here, so accessing the data is safe
 *
 *   if (data->mVar1 < 5) {
 *     ++data->mVar2;
 *   }
 *
 *   // if you need to temporarily unlock the mutex, you can use unlock/relock mutex locally
 *   // using the accessor object.
 *
 *   data.unlock();
 *
 *   // data is inaccessible here
 *
 *   doSomeLongOperation();
 *
 *   data.lock();
 *
 *   // data is now accessible again. Note: it may have changed since unlock().
 *
 *   // you can use the integral mutex to wait for a condition
 *
 *   data.waitForCondition(data->mCondition1);
 *
 *   helper(&data);
 * }
 *
 * void trigger() {
 *   Mutexed<DataToProtect>::Locked data(mProtectedData);
 *   data->mCondition1.signal();
 * }
 *
 * void helper(const Mutexed<DataToProtect>::Locked &data) {
 *   data->mVar1 = 3;
 * }

     * unlock() or lock() from different threads; they must be called from the thread
     * that locked the original wrapper.
     *
     * Also note: Recursive locking/unlocking is not supported by the accessor. This
     * is as intended, as it allows lenient locking/unlocking via multiple code paths.
