+//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// A FlagSaver object stores the state of flags in the scope where the FlagSaver
+// is defined, allowing modification of those flags within that scope and
+// automatic restoration of the flags to their previous state upon leaving the
+// scope.
+//
+// A FlagSaver can be used within tests to temporarily change the test
+// environment and restore the test case to its previous state.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   void MyFunc() {
+//    absl::FlagSaver fs;
+//    ...
+//    absl::SetFlag(FLAGS_myFlag, otherValue);
+//    ...
+//  } // scope of FlagSaver left, flags return to previous state
+//
+// This class is thread-safe.
