/*
  Based on the pattern of same name (293). The expression Observer or
  Observed is part of the method names in purpose, in order to avoid
  conflict with other interfaces (such as in wxWidgets)
 
  ObserverUpdate() and ObserverRelease() are the abstract methods and
  must be implemented by a derived class. It is important to note that
  the reference to Data given to the ctor should not be saved in the
  derived class, but rather the GetObservedData method should be used.
  
  If the observed data goes out-of-scope, a call to ObserverRelease will
  be followed by a call to ObserverInvalidate, which will mark the data
  reference as invalidated. A further call to GetObserved Data will throw
  an InvalidObserver exception!
