 * There are two advantages to inheriting from nsStubMutationObserver
 * rather than directly from nsIMutationObserver:
 *  1. smaller compiled code size (since there's no need for the code
 *     for the empty virtual function implementations for every
 *     nsIMutationObserver implementation)
 *  2. the performance of document's loop over observers benefits from
 *     the fact that more of the functions called are the same (which
 *     can reduce instruction cache misses and perhaps improve branch
 *     prediction)
