// this is more efficient if many objects can be observed (inherit from observable)
// but only few are actually coupled with observers. E.g. TMV has over 500.000 Atoms,
// which might become observable. Handling Observable infrastructure in each of
// these would use memory for each atom. By handling Observer-infrastructure
// here we only need memory for objects that actually are observed.
