// .NAME vtkProgressObserver - Basic class to optionally replace vtkAlgorithm progress functionality.
// .SECTION Description
// When the basic functionality in vtkAlgorithm that reports progress is
// not enough, a subclass of vtkProgressObserver can be used to provide
// custom functionality.
// The main use case for this is when an algorithm's RequestData() is
// called from multiple threads in parallel - the basic functionality in
// vtkAlgorithm is not thread safe. vtkSMPProgressObserver can
// handle this situation by routing progress from each thread to a
// thread local vtkProgressObserver, which will invoke events separately
// for each thread.
