+ *

+ *        - has public member function @a unlock which releases the lock
+ *

+ * Example with rtos::Mutex
+ *
+ * @code
+ * void foo(Mutex &m) {
+ *     ScopedLock<Mutex> lock(m);
+ *     // Mutex lock protects code in this block
+ * }

+ * More generic example
+ *
+ * @code
+ * template<typename Lockable>
+ * void foo(Lockable& lockable) {
+ *     ScopedLock<Lockable> lock(lockable);
+ *     // Code in this block runs under lock
