Detailed Description

The base definitions for the Observer (aka Publisher--Subscriber) pattern. This implementation is a small evolution of the code from the "Gang of Four" book.

An Observer just has to be able to be notified that there need to be an update. The constructor is protected to stop any instances of this class being constructed.

Although we could use a vector for this, we use a list so that when we remove an item from the middle of the sequence we do not have the overhead of moving items.
