+    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.
