    See the Interfaces wiki for design notes:

http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/Projects/Interfaces/ObserverAndNotification

    DefaultObservable is intended to be used as a mix-in, like so::

        from OFS.SimpleItem import SimpleItem
        from OFS.DefaultObservable import DefaultObservable

        class Foo( SimpleItem, DefaultObservable ):
            '''
                Some foo or other
            '''
            ...
            def bar( self, ... ):
                '''
                '''
                ...
                self.notify( "bar" )

    Clients register with a Foo instance using the methods of the
    Observable interface, e.g.::

        foo.registerObserver( self.getPhysicalPath() + ( 'watchFoo',) )

    When the Foo instance has its 'bar()' method called, it will
    notify all registered observers, passing 'bar' as the event;  in
    this case, the client's 'watchFoo()' method will be called, with
    the foo object and 'bar' passed as parameters.
