/// \ingroup window
///
/// If you need to make OpenGL calls without having an
/// active window (like in a thread), you can use an
/// instance of this class to get a valid context.
///
/// Having a valid context is necessary for *every* OpenGL call.
///
/// Note that a context is only active in its current thread,
/// if you create a new thread it will have no valid context
/// by default.
///
/// To use a sf::Context instance, just construct it and let it
/// live as long as you need a valid context. No explicit activation
/// is needed, all it has to do is to exist. Its destructor
/// will take care of deactivating and freeing all the attached
/// resources.
///
/// Usage example:
/// \code
/// void threadFunction(void*)
/// {
///    sf::Context context;
///    // from now on, you have a valid context
///
///    // you can make OpenGL calls
///    glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
/// }
/// // the context is automatically deactivated and destroyed
/// // by the sf::Context destructor
/// \endcode
