//! Implements traits for things that wish to observe internal state
//! changes of snix-eval.
//!
//! This can be used to gain insights from compilation, to trace the
//! runtime, and so on.
//!
//! All methods are optional, that is, observers can implement only
/// what they are interested in observing.
