Take a look at the serialization library (www.rrsd.com/boost/) which
contains state_saver.hpp and a manual page.  I did this because I needed it
and was inspired by Daryl Walkers I/O state saver.  Pavel V.  made many
improvements and to my mind effectively "boostified" it. Only did I much
later become aware of the ScopeGard in the files section.  I would much like
to see this promoted out of the serialization library.  Perhaps, even the
original i/o state_savers might be slightly refactored to use the general
state_saver.
