This single header library adds a clean DSL (syntax sugar) to construct ImGui interfaces in c++11. It manages the stack with transparent RAII guards.

- All guards do store a function pointer to the end callback and a boolean member with the returned value from begin callback.
- No heap allocations are done at all.
- No guarantees.
- This is very opinionated.
- This uses templates and macros.
- This is not a proposal, just something that you can use if you like it.
Discussions and PRs are welcome :)
