/** \brief Class to watch for user-interrupt (SIGINT, ctrl-C)
 *
 * A class to watch for SIGINT.
 *
 * Creating an instance of the class ensures that the Mesquite
 * handler for SIGINT is registered.  When all instances are
 * destroyed, the Mesquite handler is removed.  The intent is
 * that each interruptable API declare an instance on the stack.
 * This way the handler is automatically unregistered when the
 * API returns.  For example:
 * <code>
 * void my_api( MsqError& err )
 * {
 *   MsqInterrupt interrupt;
 *   ... //do stuff
 *   return;
 * }
 * </code>
