    @short          implement a guard to set write locks
    @descr          This guard should be used to set a lock for reading AND writing object internal member.
                    We never need a own mutex to safe our internal member access - because
                    a guard is used as function-local member only. There exist no multithreaded access to it really ...

    @attention      a) To prevent us against wrong using, the default ctor, copy ctor and the =operator are marked private!
                    b) Use interface "IRWLock" of set LockHelper only - because we must support a finer granularity of locking.
                       Interface "IMutex" should be used by easier guard implementations ... like "ResetableGuard"!
