    35   /// \brief Notifier class to notify observes about alterations in
    36   /// a container.
    37   ///
    38   /// The simple graph's can be refered as two containers, one node container
    39   /// and one edge container. But they are not standard containers they
    40   /// does not store values directly they are just key continars for more
    41   /// value containers which are the node and edge maps.
    42   ///
    43   /// The graph's node and edge sets can be changed as we add or erase
    44   /// nodes and edges in the graph. Lemon would like to handle easily
    45   /// that the node and edge maps should contain values for all nodes or
    46   /// edges. If we want to check on every indicing if the map contains
    47   /// the current indicing key that cause a drawback in the performance
    48   /// in the library. We use another solution we notify all maps about
    49   /// an alteration in the graph, which cause only drawback on the
    50   /// alteration of the graph.
    51   ///
    52   /// This class provides an interface to the container. The \e first() and \e
    53   /// next() member functions make possible to iterate on the keys of the
    54   /// container. The \e id() function returns an integer id for each key.
    55   /// The \e maxId() function gives back an upper bound of the ids.
    56   ///
    57   /// For the proper functonality of this class, we should notify it
    58   /// about each alteration in the container. The alterations have four type
    59   /// as \e add(), \e erase(), \e build() and \e clear(). The \e add() and
    60   /// \e erase() signals that only one or few items added or erased to or
    61   /// from the graph. If all items are erased from the graph or from an empty
    62   /// graph a new graph is builded then it can be signaled with the
    63   /// clear() and build() members. Important rule that if we erase items
    64   /// from graph we should first signal the alteration and after that erase
    65   /// them from the container, on the other way on item addition we should
    66   /// first extend the container and just after that signal the alteration.
    67   ///
    68   /// The alteration can be observed with a class inherited from the
    69   /// \e ObserverBase nested class. The signals can be handled with
    70   /// overriding the virtual functions defined in the base class.  The
    71   /// observer base can be attached to the notifier with the
    72   /// \e attach() member and can be detached with detach() function. The
    73   /// alteration handlers should not call any function which signals
    74   /// an other alteration in the same notifier and should not
    75   /// detach any observer from the notifier.
    76   ///
    77   /// Alteration observers try to be exception safe. If an \e add() or
    78   /// a \e clear() function throws an exception then the remaining
    79   /// observeres will not be notified and the fulfilled additions will
    80   /// be rolled back by calling the \e erase() or \e clear()
    81   /// functions. Thence the \e erase() and \e clear() should not throw
