/// \class sf::Lock
/// \ingroup system
///
/// sf::Lock is a RAII wrapper for sf::Mutex. By unlocking
/// it in its destructor, it ensures that the mutex will
/// always be released when the current scope (most likely
/// a function) ends.
/// This is even more important when an exception or an early
/// return statement can interrupt the execution flow of the
/// function.
///
/// For maximum robustness, sf::Lock should always be used
/// to lock/unlock a mutex.
///
/// Usage example:
/// \code
/// sf::Mutex mutex;
///
/// void function()
/// {
///     sf::Lock lock(mutex); // mutex is now locked
///
///     functionThatMayThrowAnException(); // mutex is unlocked if this function throws
///
///     if (someCondition)
///         return; // mutex is unlocked
///
/// } // mutex is unlocked
/// \endcode
///
/// Because the mutex is not explicitly unlocked in the code,
/// it may remain locked longer than needed. If the region
/// of the code that needs to be protected by the mutex is
/// not the entire function, a good practice is to create a
/// smaller, inner scope so that the lock is limited to this
/// part of the code.
///
/// \code
/// sf::Mutex mutex;
///
/// void function()
/// {
///     {
///       sf::Lock lock(mutex);
///       codeThatRequiresProtection();
///
///     } // mutex is unlocked here
///
///     codeThatDoesntCareAboutTheMutex();
/// }
/// \endcode
///
/// Having a mutex locked longer than required is a bad practice
/// which can lead to bad performances. Don't forget that when
/// a mutex is locked, other threads may be waiting doing nothing
/// until it is released.
///
/// \see sf::Mutex
