It was originally planned, never got implemented because nobody who
could do it had the time or motivation to do it. Notifiers itself was
a major thing, at the time, not much call for multiple notifiers.

One possible issue would be if "the Notify object" has an API tuned to
being a single type. Wouldn't be hard to add to or replace that part
of the API if so I assume.
