* A GuardedObject is an object that is used to protect access to

*
A GuardedObject encapsulates a target object and a Guard object,
* such that access to the target object is possible
* only if the Guard object allows it.
* Once an object is encapsulated by a GuardedObject,
* access to that object is controlled by the getObject
* method, which invokes the
* checkGuard method on the Guard object that is
* guarding access. If access is not allowed,
* an exception is thrown.
