     * @class Ext.util.Observable
     * Base class that provides a common interface for publishing events. Subclasses are expected to
     * to have a property "events" with all the events defined, and, optionally, a property "listeners"
     * with configured listeners defined.<br>
     * For example:
     * <pre><code>
    Ext.define('Employee', {
        extend: 'Ext.util.Observable',
        constructor: function(config){
            this.name = config.name;
            this.addEvents({
                "fired" : true,
                "quit" : true
            });

            // Copy configured listeners into *this* object so that the base class&#39;s
            // constructor will add them.
            this.listeners = config.listeners;

            // Call our superclass constructor to complete construction process.
            Employee.superclass.constructor.call(this, config)
        }
    });
    </code></pre>
     * This could then be used like this:<pre><code>
    var newEmployee = new Employee({
        name: employeeName,
        listeners: {
            quit: function() {
                // By default, "this" will be the object that fired the event.
                alert(this.name + " has quit!");
            }
        }
    });
