+/**
+  * Helper class to facilitate working with @ref KConfig / @ref KSimpleConfig
+  * groups.
+  *
+  * Careful programmers always set the group of a
+  * @ref KConfig @ref KSimpleConfig object to the group they want to read from
+  * and set it back to the old one of afterwards. This is usually
+  * written as:
+  * <pre>
+  *
+  * QString oldgroup config->group();
+  * config->setGroup( "TheGroupThatIWant" );
+  * ...
+  * config->writeEntry( "Blah", "Blubb" );
+  *
+  * config->setGroup( oldgroup );
+  * </pre>
+  *
+  * In order to facilitate this task, you can use
+  * KConfigGroupSaver. Simply construct such an object ON THE STACK
+  * when you want to switch to a new group. Then, when the object goes
+  * out of scope, the group will automatically be restored. If you
+  * want to use several different groups within a function or method,
+  * you can still use KConfigGroupSaver: Simply enclose all work with
+  * one group (including the creation of the KConfigGroupSaver object)
+  * in one block.
+  *
