EventPlugin class abstract

An EventPlugin receives callbacks when the fields of a GeneratedMessage change.

A GeneratedMessage mixin can install a plugin by overriding the eventPlugin property. The intent is provide mechanism, not policy; each mixin defines its own public API, perhaps using streams.

This is a low-level, synchronous API. Event handlers are called in the middle of protobuf changes. To avoid exposing half-finished changes to user code, plugins should buffer events and send them asynchronously. (See event_mixin.dart for an example.)
