"""Decorator and context manager for saving and restoring flag values. There are many ways to save and restore. Always use the most convenient method for a given use case. Here are examples of each method.

This preserves all attributes of the flag, such as whether or not it was overridden from its default value. WARNING: Currently a flag that is saved and then deleted cannot be restored. An exception will be raised. However if you *add* a flag after saving flag values, and then restore flag values, the added flag will be deleted with no errors.
