// A CheckedObserver serves as a base class for an observer interface designed
// to be used with base::ObserverList. It helps detect potential use-after-free
// issues that can occur when observers fail to remove themselves from an
// observer list upon destruction.
//
// A CheckedObserver will CHECK() if an ObserverList iteration is attempted over
// a destroyed Observer.
//
// Note that a CheckedObserver subclass must be deleted on the same thread as
// the ObserverList(s) it is added to. This is DCHECK()ed via WeakPtr.
