/** The QtInstanceInformationBoard is the central class for communicating instance
 * creation and destruction from MoleCuilder into the QtGui realm. It should be
 * thought of as an interface to allow for safe multi-threaded computing.
 *
 * The idea is as follows: As soon as a molecule is instantiated, all the QtGui
 * needs to access the instance (for displaying it) is wrapped up in a
 * ObservedValue. This ObservedValue separates the lifetime of the molecule object
 * from the information contained therein and thus makes the visual representation
 * independent of the life time. The Observer/Observable signal from the World,
 * i.e. World::MoleculeInserted, is caught (directly within the same thread) by
 * the QtInstanceInformationBoard. Here, we instantiate all ObservedValue's needed
 * for this specific molecule and store them in an internal map. Next, we emit
 * a Qt signal informing the QtGui part about the new molecule.
 * At some later stage, the QtGui will (probably in a different thread)
 * instantiate a GLMoleculeObject_molecule as a visual representation of the
 * molecule. It requests the ObservedValues from the QtInstanceInformationBoard
 * and uses these directly.
 * The QtInstanceInformationBoard also records all subjectKilled() signals from
 * each ObservedValue. Additionally, each class using the ObservedValues
 * additionally informs the QtInstanceInformationBoard when subjectKilled() was
 * called. If subjectKilled() for each ObservedValue of a molecule and from the
 * visual representation have been received, a removal Qt signal is emitted.
 *
 * The same holds for the atom
