///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// OVERVIEW:
//
//   A container for a list of observers.  Unlike a normal STL vector or list,
//   this container can be modified during iteration without invalidating the
//   iterator.  So, it safely handles the case of an observer removing itself
//   or other observers from the list while observers are being notified.
//
// TYPICAL USAGE:
//
//   class MyWidget {
//    public:
//     ...
//
//     class Observer {
//      public:
//       virtual void OnFoo(MyWidget* w) = 0;
//       virtual void OnBar(MyWidget* w, int x, int y) = 0;
//     };
//
//     void AddObserver(Observer* obs) {
//       observer_list_.AddObserver(obs);
//     }
//
//     void RemoveObserver(Observer* obs) {
//       observer_list_.RemoveObserver(obs);
//     }
//
//     void NotifyFoo() {
//       FOR_EACH_OBSERVER(Observer, observer_list_, OnFoo(this));
//     }
//
//     void NotifyBar(int x, int y) {
//       FOR_EACH_OBSERVER(Observer, observer_list_, OnBar(this, x, y));
//     }
//
//    private:
//     ObserverList<Observer> observer_list_;
//   };
