class Foundation_API NestedDiagnosticContext
	/// This class implements a Nested Diagnostic Context (NDC),
	/// as described in Neil Harrison's article "Patterns for Logging 
	/// Diagnostic Messages" in "Pattern Languages of Program Design 3"
	/// (Addison-Wesley).
	///
	/// A NDC maintains a stack of context information, consisting of
	/// an informational string (e.g., a method name), as well as an
	/// optional source code line number and file name.
	/// NDCs are especially useful for tagging log messages with
	/// context information which is very helpful in a multithreaded
	/// server scenario.
	/// Every thread has its own private NDC, which is automatically
	/// created when needed and destroyed when the thread terminates.
	///
	/// The NDCScope (or NDC::Scope) class can be used to automatically
	/// push information at the beginning of a scope, and to pop it
	/// at the end.
	/// The poco_ndc(info) macro augments the information with a
	/// source code line number and file name.
