+/**
+ * CompoundPathObserver is an object which knows how to listen to multiple path
+ * values (registered via [addPath]) and invoke a function when one or more
+ * of the values have changed. The result of this function will be set into the
+ * [value] property. When any value has changed, all current values are provided
+ * to the function in the single `values` argument.
+ *
+ * For example:
+ *
+ *     var binding = new CompoundPathObserver(getValue: (values) {
+ *       var combinedValue;
+ *       // compute combinedValue based on the current values which are provided
+ *       return combinedValue;
+ *     });
+ *     binding.addPath(obj1, path1);
+ *     binding.addPath(obj2, path2);
+ *     //...
+ *     binding.addPath(objN, pathN);
+ */

[Siggi Cherem (dart-lang), 2013/10/29 21:00:07]

should getValue be mandatory? What would we do if it's null?

[Jennifer Messerly, 2013/10/29 22:35:07]

it should returns a list of the values. My bad. Fixed.

+
+  int get length => _observers.length;
+
+  @reflectable get value => _value;
+
+  @reflectable void set value(newValue) {

[Siggi Cherem (dart-lang), 2013/10/29 21:00:07]

should the setter be public?

I was expecting the only way to set the value was to update it internally from
_getValue

[Jennifer Messerly, 2013/10/29 22:35:07]

good catch. removed setter.

[Siggi Cherem (dart-lang), 2013/10/29 21:00:07]

check for _getValue == null?

[Jennifer Messerly, 2013/10/29 22:35:07]

Done.
