+ * An observable box that holds a value. Use this if you want to store a single
+ * value. For other cases, it is better to use [ObservableList],
+ * [ObservableMap], or a custom [Observable] implementation based on
+ * [ObservableMixin].

Document that the key will be the string "value".

Done. Also moving this type to package:observe, and using Symbol
