  /// \brief Notifier class to notify observes about alterations in 
  /// a container.
  ///
  /// The simple graph's can be refered as two containers, one node container
  /// and one edge container. But they are not standard containers they
  /// does not store values directly they are just key continars for more
  /// value containers which are the node and edge maps.
  ///
  /// The graph's node and edge sets can be changed as we add or erase
  /// nodes and edges in the graph. Lemon would like to handle easily
  /// that the node and edge maps should contain values for all nodes or
  /// edges. If we want to check on every indicing if the map contains
  /// the current indicing key that cause a drawback in the performance
  /// in the library. We use another solution we notify all maps about
  /// an alteration in the graph, which cause only drawback on the
  /// alteration of the graph.
  ///
  /// This class provides an interface to the container. The \e first() and \e 
  /// next() member functions make possible to iterate on the keys of the
  /// container. The \e id() function returns an integer id for each key.
  /// The \e maxId() function gives back an upper bound of the ids.
  ///
  /// For the proper functonality of this class, we should notify it
  /// about each alteration in the container. The alterations have four type
  /// as \e add(), \e erase(), \e build() and \e clear(). The \e add() and
  /// \e erase() signals that only one or few items added or erased to or
  /// from the graph. If all items are erased from the graph or from an empty
  /// graph a new graph is builded then it can be signaled with the
  /// clear() and build() members. Important rule that if we erase items 
  /// from graph we should first signal the alteration and after that erase
  /// them from the container, on the other way on item addition we should
  /// first extend the container and just after that signal the alteration.
  ///
  /// The alteration can be observed with a class inherited from the
  /// \e ObserverBase nested class. The signals can be handled with
  /// overriding the virtual functions defined in the base class.
  /// The observer base can be attached to the notifier with the
  /// \e attach() member and can be detached with detach() function.
  ///
  /// Alteration observers try to be exception safe. This can be achived
  /// when the observers does not throw exception on \e erase() and 
  /// \e clear(). Less strict condition is that the \e erase() should
  /// not throw exception after an \e add() with the same parameter and
  /// the \e clear() should not throw exception after a \e build(). 
  ///
  /// There are some place when the alteration observing is not completly
  /// reliable. If we want to carry out the node degree in the graph
  /// as in the \ref InDegMap and we use the reverseEdge that cause 
  /// unreliable functionality. Because the alteration observing signals
  /// only erasing and adding but not the reversing it will stores bad
  /// degrees. The sub graph adaptors cannot signal the alterations because
  /// just a setting in the filter map can modify the graph and this cannot
  /// be watched in any way.
  ///
  /// \param _Container The container which is observed.
  /// \param _Item The item type which is obserbved.
