cdef class xmlfile:

    A simple mechanism for incremental XML serialisation.

    Usage example::

         with xmlfile("somefile.xml", encoding='utf-8') as xf:
             xf.write_declaration(standalone=True)
             xf.write_doctype('<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "some.dtd">')

             # generate an element (the root element)
             with xf.element('root'):
                  # write a complete Element into the open root element
                  xf.write(etree.Element('test'))

                  # generate and write more Elements, e.g. through iterparse
                  for element in generate_some_elements():
                      # serialise generated elements into the XML file
                      xf.write(element)

                  # or write multiple Elements or strings at once
                  xf.write(etree.Element('start'), "text", etree.Element('end'))

    If 'output_file' is a file(-like) object, passing ``close=True`` will
    close it when exiting the context manager.  By default, it is left
    to the owner to do that.  When a file path is used, lxml will take care
    of opening and closing the file itself.  Also, when a compression level
    is set, lxml will deliberately close the file to make sure all data gets
    compressed and written.

    Setting ``buffered=False`` will flush the output after each operation,
    such as opening or closing an ``xf.element()`` block or calling
    ``xf.write()``.  Alternatively, calling ``xf.flush()`` can be used to
    explicitly flush any pending output when buffering is enabled.
