I would see it as the client provides a "Notified" object which has a pure
virtual interface on it. The C++ wrappers would invoke the appropriate
methods on the supplied Notified object. Thus, you could easily mix/match
notification callbacks without changing/subclassing the target object.

(this is the model that I intend to use with the Python bindings)
