{- notification broadcaster
 -
 - This is used to allow clients to block until there is a new notification
 - that some thing occurred. It does not communicate what the change is,
 - it only provides blocking reads to wait on notifications.
 -
 - Multiple clients are supported. Each has a unique id.
