/**
 * <p>
 * A notification message that may be emitted by a bean.
 * Notifications have both a message and a type, so individual
 * notifications can be grouped by type.  They also incorporate
 * sequencing, so that the recipient can order the delivered
 * messages correctly (there is no guarantee that they will
 * be delivered in order).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Notifications also include a reference to the source of
 * the notification.  The source bean is represented either
 * by an {@link ObjectName} or by a direct reference to the
 * bean.  The former is preferable, and notifications emitted
 * via a {@link MBeanServer} will automatically have the source
 * transformed into an {@link ObjectName}.
 * </p>
