class Foundation_API NamedMutex: private NamedMutexImpl
	/// A NamedMutex (mutual exclusion) is a global synchronization
	/// mechanism used to control access to a shared resource
	/// in a concurrent (multi process) scenario.
	/// Using the ScopedLock class is the preferred way to automatically
	/// lock and unlock a mutex.
	///
	/// Unlike a Mutex or a FastMutex, which itself is the unit of synchronization,
	/// a NamedMutex refers to a named operating system resource being the
	/// unit of synchronization.
	/// In other words, there can be multiple instances of NamedMutex referring
	/// to the same actual synchronization object.
	///
	///
	/// There should not be more than one instance of NamedMutex for
	/// a given name in a process. Otherwise, the instances may
	/// interfere with each other.
