     * The Notifiable class is an interface that may be used in the application.  It provides
     * a single callback (notify) that is invoked when the agent or console has events to be
     * handled by the application.
     *
     * This interface should only be used in an application that has more event drivers than
     * just a single QMF interface.  For example, an application that already uses select or
     * poll to control execution can use the notify callback to awaken the select/poll call.
     *
     * No QMF operations should be performed from the notify callback.  It should only be used
     * to awaken an application thread that will then perform QMF operations.
