     * @brief `viz::Client` that will delete (clear) committed layers when destroyed.
     *
     * Note that, as a consequence, a network call will be performed in the destructor.
     *
     * This might be useful if you have a class `MyTask` perform visualizing while performing some task,
     * but whose visualization should be removed when the task finished.
     * In this case, `MyTask` can have a `viz::ScopedClient` (which can be created from a regular `viz::Client`).
     * When destructing the instance of `MyTask`, all visualization done by `MyTask` will be cleared
     * (as `viz::ScopedClient` will go out of scope as well).
