* 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.
*
+ * \code
+ * OConfigGroupSaver saver(cfg,"TheGroupThatInWhat");
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Note that OConfigGroupSaver (cfg,"TheGroupThatInWhat"); would get imediately
+ * destructed after created and that you would save in the old group which
+ * is unwished.
