Hmmm, yes, it is true that we probably don't want to alert the observers
for these (kind of temporary) memory writes. I still worry that we are
going to keep making the same mistake as the one you are fixing here,
but for now I see your point.
Perhaps, for later, we might want to have a look at having two routines,
one "silent", and one that notifies the observers, a little bit like
the routine we have for adding new threads, for instance.
