I'm well aware of the observer pattern and its general usefulness.
What I'm not sure about is whether this specific case justifies an
introduction of a _new_ observer, when it could easily (or so it seems
to me) be fixed in another, more traditional, way. Sorry if that
concern was unclear from my original wording.

Our breakpoint code is replete with things it cares about that happen
in other parts of the code. I don't understand why this minor problem
justifies to be solved in such a different, non-minor way.
