+/**
+ * An auto pointer-type class for resources which take a C-style destructor
+ * (RTMemFree() or equivalent).
+ *
+ * The idea of this class is to manage resources which the current code is
+ * responsible for freeing. By wrapping the resource in an RTCAutoRes, you
+ * ensure that the resource will be freed when you leave the scope in which
+ * the RTCAutoRes is defined, unless you explicitly release the resource.
+ *
+ * A typical use case is when a function is allocating a number of resources.
+ * If any single allocation fails then all other resources must be freed. If
+ * all allocations succeed, then the resources should be returned to the
+ * caller. By placing all allocated resources in RTCAutoRes containers, you
+ * ensure that they will be freed on failure, and only have to take care of
+ * releasing them when you return them.
+ *
+ * @param T The type of the resource.
+ * @param Destruct The function to be used to free the resource.
+ * This parameter must be supplied if there is no
+ * specialisation of RTAutoDestruct available for @a T.
+ * @param NilRes The function returning the NIL value for T. Required.
+ * This parameter must be supplied if there is no
+ * specialisation of RTAutoResNil available for @a T.
+ *
+ * @note The class can not be initialised directly using assignment, due
+ * to the lack of a copy constructor. This is intentional.
