/// life_guard is a convenience which takes advantage of std::enable_shared_from_this<T>.
/// The life_guard glorifies the constructor of an std::shared_ptr<T> by accepting
/// std::weak_ptr<T> and T& itself all with proper semantics. Once construction is
/// successful, the user holds it for the duration of the scope ensuring T& survives
/// context interleaving without being destructed.
///
/// Use the life_guard to keep an object alive within a function running in a context.
///
/// Example:
///
/// void foo(client &c)
/// {
/// const life_guard<client> lg(c);
///
/// c.call(); // This call was always safe with or w/o life_guard.
/// ctx::wait(); // The context has now yielded and another context might destroy client &c
/// c.call(); // The context continues and this would have made a call on a dead c.
/// }
