This pull request seeks to add helper classes for observers as well as a way to optionally defer/override an implementation of a method or action.
These classes would in the future help with server-side modding. The observer class is very standard as observers go. Usually you would relay on something like a strategy pattern to switch between implementations — do not think that is quite the right solution here.
In the event of modding through library loading at runtime, they could set their observers and overrides through these classes.
In this pull request are examples of how these classes could be implemented into existing classes. These could be excluded if that would be preferred.
