Uniformize interfaces

        sub direct_observers_object {
          my $self = shift;
          return $self->{"Class::Observable::_observers"} ||= [];
        }

• Now reconsider the question "What if the watched object is not a hash?"

• We now have a better answer:

• Answer 3: Subclass Class::Observable and override direct_observers_object:

        sub direct_observers_object {
          my $self = shift;
          return $self->[37] ||= [];
        }

• We can also get back the original implementation this way if we want to:

        sub direct_observers_object {
          my $self = shift;
          return $O{$self} ||= [];
        }
