/// @brief Generic test observer interface
///
/// This interface is used by observers in order to receive notifications from the
/// Boost.Test framework on the current execution state.
///
/// Several observers can be running at the same time, and it is not unusual to
/// have interactions among them. The @ref test_observer::priority member function allows the specification
/// of a particular order among them (lowest priority executed first, except specified otherwise).
///
