+ * @class ACE_Svc_Conf_Lexer_Guard
+ *
+ * @brief "Guard" that ensures lexer buffer stack manipulation is
+ *        exception-safe.
+ *
+ * Buffers are allocated and deallocated when scanning a file or a
+ * string.  This class utilizes the "guard" idiom to perform stack
+ * pushing and popping before and after parsing/scanning.
+ * @par
+ * The underlying stack allows nested scans to occur.  For example,
+ * while scanning a `svc.conf' file, a Service Object's init() method
+ * could invoke a Service Configurator directive, which would require
+ * "moving" the current lexer state out of the way (pushing it onto
+ * the stack implementation).
