 * create an instance of RTCLock on the stack and pass the mutex to it:
 *
 * @code
    extern RTCLockMtx gMtx;     // wherever this is
    ...

        // when lock goes out of scope, destructor releases the mutex
    }
   @endcode
 *
 * You can also explicitly release the mutex by calling RTCLock::release().
 * This might be helpful if the lock doesn't go out of scope early enough
 * for your mutex to be released.
