/**
 * Allows masking of interrupt flag if previously the flag is already set. Does
 * nothing otherwise.
 * 
 * Typical use:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * InterruptUtil interruptUtil = new InterruptUtil(context);
 * 
 * try {
 *     interruptUtil.maskInterruptFlag();
 *     someOtherThread.join(delay);
 * } catch (InterruptedException e) {
 *     // reachable only if join does not succeed within delay.
 *     // Without the maskInterruptFlag() call, the join() would have returned
 *     // immediately
 *     // had the current thread been interrupted previously, i.e. before entering
 *     // the above block
 * } finally {
 *     interruptUtil.unmaskInterruptFlag();
 * }
 * </pre>
