The default implementation (for Observable) would look like this:

subclasses might do something more effective. The same would apply to
ObservableValue and ChangeListener and Observable[List|Set|Map] and
[List|Set|Map]ChangeListener.
Well this would destroy the order! I expect listeners to be called in
the correct order not?
That’s a good point :-(
Actually even when you would rely on the order, in situations when you
call ensureListener, you don't really know if the listener is already
there. So you might really expect that listener would be added at this
point as the last. It's just that will always be the outcome if the
default implementation is used.
