Detailed Description

       The WriteLock class is used to protect a section of code through a
       ThreadLock for ’write’ access to the member function.

       The ThreadLock is automatically released when the object falls out of
       scope.

       A common use is

       void func_to_protect() { WriteLock lock(threadlock); ... operation ...
       }

       NOTE: do not declare variable as ’WriteLock (threadlock)’, the mutex
       will be released at statement end.
