	\class MDGContextGuard
	\brief	Scope object used to modify current evaluation context in a code block

	Some API methods can have a context passed in to them. In those cases the
	current context will be temporarily changed to the passed context for evaluation
	purposes.

	A better method for longer sequences of evaluation in an alterative context is
	to create a guard in a block of code that makes a bunch of calls, and then use
	the context-free methods.

	\code
		// Example with a temporary context
		some_code_using_current_context();
		{
			MDGContextGuard contextGuard( MDGContext( 3.0 ) );
			myPlug.getValue( myBool );
			myPlug.getValue( myInt );
		}
	\endcode

	This is equivalent to:

	\code
		some_code_using_current_context();
		myPlug.getValue( MDGContext( 3.0 ), myBool );
		myPlug.getValue( MDGContext( 3.0 ), myInt );
	\endcode

	\note Guard objects can be nested
