/** @file ios-savepoint.hpp
** Capture previous settings of an `std::ostream` and restore them when leaving scope.
** The stream manipulators of the IOS-Framework from the C++ standard lib allow to adjust
** various aspects of output formatting for following data fed to the output stream.
** Unfortunately many of these settings are _sticky_ and thus may "taint" common
** output streams like `std::cout`. By planting this RAII capsule into a local scope,
** the internal settings of an output stream can be recorded and restored automatically,
** once control flow leaves the scope.
** @remark based on this [stackoverflow] by «[qbert220]», 2013
**
** @see IosSavepoint_test
