/**
 * About the types of objects in this file:
 *
 * - ReflowActor: the actor class used for protocol purposes.
 *   Mostly empty, just gets an instance of LayoutChangesObserver and forwards
 *   its "reflows" events to clients.
 *
 * - LayoutChangesObserver: extends Observable and uses the ReflowObserver, to
 *   track reflows on the page.
 *   Used by the LayoutActor, but is also exported on the module, so can be used
 *   by any other actor that needs it.
 *
 * - Observable: A utility parent class, meant at being extended by classes that
 *   need a to observe something on the targetActor's windows.
 *
 * - Dedicated observers: There's only one of them for now: ReflowObserver which
 *   listens to reflow events via the docshell,
 *   These dedicated classes are used by the LayoutChangesObserver.
