template <class C, class N>
class NObserver: public AbstractObserver
	/// This template class implements an adapter that sits between
	/// a NotificationCenter and an object receiving notifications
	/// from it. It is quite similar in concept to the
	/// RunnableAdapter, but provides some NotificationCenter
	/// specific additional methods.
	/// See the NotificationCenter class for information on how
	/// to use this template class.
	///
	/// This class template is quite similar to the Observer class
	/// template. The differences are:
	///
	///   - NObserver expects the callback function to accept a const AutoPtr&
	///     instead of a plain pointer as argument, thus simplifying memory
	///     management.
	///
	///   - In addition to dispatching notifications based on the Notification runtime
	///     type, NObserver can also notify subscribers based on the Notification name.
	///     To enable this functionality, a matcher function must be provided.
	///     Null matcher means no matching is performed and all notificiations
	///     of the type subscribed to are dispatched.
