+This module implements so-called "guards". A guard is something (usually
+an object) that "guards" a resource, ensuring that it is cleaned up when
+expected.
+
+Specifically, this module supports two different types of guards: guard
+objects, which execute a given code block when destroyed, and scoped
+guards, which are tied to the scope exit.
