/**
 * @brief Helper class for easier use of OConfig groups.
 *
 * Careful programmers always set the group of a
 * @ref OConfig 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
 * OConfigGroupSaver. 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 OConfigGroupSaver: Simply enclose all work with
 * one group (including the creation of the OConfigGroupSaver object)
 * in one block.
