	The class utl::detail::Options provides a kind of multiplexer. It implements a ConfigurationListener
	that is usually registered at a ConfigItem class. At the same time it implements a ConfigurationBroadcaster
	that allows further ("external") listeners to register.
	Once the class deriving from Options is notified about
	configuration changes by the ConfigItem if its content has been changed by calling some of its methods,
	a call of the Options::NotifyListeners() method will send out notifications to all external listeners.
