+/// model-view architectures to notify interested parties of [changes] to the |

+/// |
+/// The interface does not require any specific technique to implement |
+/// observability. You can implement it in the following ways: |
+/// |
+/// - extend or mixin this class, and let the application call [dirtyCheck] |
+/// periodically to check for changes to your object. |
+/// - extend or mixin [ChangeNotifier], and implement change notifications |
+/// manually by calling [notifyPropertyChange] from your setters. |
+/// - implement this interface and provide your own implementation. |

+ // http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:observe#object.deliverchangerecords |
+ // |
+ // The rationale for that, and for async delivery in general, is the principal |
+ // that you shouldn't run code (observers) when it doesn't expect to be run. |
+ // If you do that, you risk violating invariants that the code assumes. |
+ // |
+ // For this reason, we need to match the ES Harmony version. The way we can do |
+ // this in Dart is to add a method on StreamSubscription (possibly by |
+ // subclassing Stream* types) that immediately delivers records for only |
+ // that subscription. Alternatively, we could consider using something other |
+ // than Stream to deliver the multicast change records, and provide an |
+ // Observable->Stream adapter. |
+ // |
+ // Also: we should be delivering changes to the observer (subscription) based |
+ // on the birth order of the observer. This is for compatibility with ES |
+ // Harmony as well as predictability for app developers. |
