+/**
+ * A class to be used to make sure some functions are called when the scope
+ * is left, because they will be called in the ScopeGuard's destructor.  It
+ * can for example be used to delete some pointer whenever any exception is
+ * called.  Example:
+
+ * {
+ *  ScopeGuard scope;
+ *  int* number = new int(2);
+ *  scope.add_callback([number]() { delete number; });
+ *  // Do some other stuff with the number. But these stuff might throw an exception:
+ *  throw std::runtime_error("Some error not caught here, but in our caller");
+ *  return true;
+ * }
+
+ * In this example, our pointer will always be deleted, even when the
+ * exception is thrown.  If we want the functions to be called only when the
+ * scope is left because of an unexpected exception, we can use
+ * ScopeGuard::disable();
