/** Specialization of ObservedValue_wCallback for the index ObservedValue.
 *
 * The index serves as the unique identifier for the object instance whose
 * properties are monitored in ObservedValue. Hence, how to give a subjectKilled()
 * with an external getId() function? For the index the ObservedValue::get() is
 * the getId() we need to call! Hence, we may simply connect these internally
 * in this partial template specialization.
 *
 * Because atomicNumber_t, atomId_t and moleculeId_t are not unique types but
 * -- at the writing of this class -- just typedefs, we have to resort to the
 * trick with two constructors, one taking an external getId(), the other
 * routing the getId() internally by binding to ObservedValue<T>::get().
