Create a scoped guard that conditionally manages the specified `lock` (if non‐null) and invokes `lock‐>tryLockWrite()` until the lock is acquired for writing, or until the optionally specified `attempts` have been made to acquire the lock. If `attempts` is not specified only one attempt is made to acquire the lock. Supplying a null `lock` has no effect. The behavior is undefined unless `lock` (if non‐null) is not already locked by this thread and `0 < attempts`. Note that `lock` must remain valid throughout the lifetime of this guard, or until `release` is called.
