/**
  * Mutex is a helper class for convenient locking and unlocking of a UMutex.
  *
  * Creating a local scope Mutex will lock a UMutex, holding the lock until the Mutex
  * goes out of scope.
  *
  *  If no UMutex is specified, the ICU global mutex is implied.
  *
  *  For example:
  *
  *  UMutex *myMutex() {
  *    static UMutex *m = STATIC_NEW(UMutex);
  *    return m;
  *  }
  *
  *  void Function(int arg1, int arg2)
  *  {
  *     static Object* foo;      // Shared read-write object
  *     Mutex mutex(myMutex());  // or no args for the global lock
  *     foo->Method();
  *     // When 'mutex' goes out of scope and gets destroyed here, the lock is released
  *  }
  *
  *  Note:  Do NOT use the form 'Mutex mutex();' as that merely forward-declares a function
  *         returning a Mutex. This is a common mistake which silently slips through the
  *         compiler!!
