Interface Monitorable

public interface Monitorable
Certain tasks or algorithms may take some time to accomplish. For example parsing, saving etc. In some situations, it is desirable to monitor the progress of such tasks, for example to provide feedback in user interfaces. Interfaces which represent long tasks can implement this progress monitor interface to provide a hook for a progress monitor.
