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

    85   /// There are some place when the alteration observing is not completly

    87   /// as in the \ref InDegMap and we use the reverseEdge that cause
