/**
 * This change support class will notify listeners whenever one of the source's
 * aspects has changed. Only the aspect name is passed to the listener; no
 * event is generated. This allows the listeners to delegate to the change
 * support object verification that an aspect as actually changed. This is
 * useful for simple things like setting dirty flags, blanket validation, and
 * blanket sychronization; i.e. things that might be interested in the *name*
 * of the aspect that changed but not so much *how* the aspect changed.
