######
# observers of the "effective" config.
# they can be used
#   (1) outside a config session (e.g., op mode, daemons, callbacks, etc.).
#   OR
#   (2) during a config session
#
# HOWEVER, NOTE that the definition of "effective" is different under these
# two scenarios.
#   (1) when used outside a config session, "effective" == "active".
#       in other words, in such cases the effective config is the same
#       as the running config.
#
#   (2) when used during a config session, a config path (leading to either
#       a "node" or a "value") is "effective" if it is "in effect" at the
#       time when these observers are called. more detailed info can be
#       found in the library code.
#
# originally, these functions are exclusively for use during config
# sessions. however, for some usage scenarios, it is useful to have a set
# of API functions that can be used both during and outside config
# sessions. therefore, definition (1) is added above for convenience.
#
# for example, a developer can use these functions in a script that can
# be used both during a commit action and outside config mode, as long as
# the developer is clearly aware of the difference between the above two
# definitions.
#
# note that when used outside a config session (i.e., definition (1)),
# these functions are equivalent to the observers for the "active" config.
#
# to avoid any confusiton, when possible (e.g., in a script that is
# exclusively used in op mode), developers should probably use those
# "active" observers explicitly when outside a config session instead
# of these "effective" observers.
#
# it is also important to note that when used outside a config session,
# due to race conditions, it is possible that the "observed" active config
# becomes out-of-sync with the config that is actually "in effect".
# specifically, this happens when two things occur simultaneously:
#   (a) an observer function is called from outside a config session.
#   AND
#   (b) someone invokes "commit" inside a config session (any session).
#
# this is because "commit" only updates the active config at the end after
# all commit actions have been executed, so before the update happens,
# some config nodes have already become "effective" but are not yet in the
# "active config" and therefore are not observed by these functions.
#
# note that this is only a problem when the caller is outside config mode.
# in such cases, the caller (which could be an op-mode command, a daemon,
# a callback script, etc.) already must be able to handle config changes
# that can happen at any time. if "what's configured" is more important,
# using the "active config" should be fine as long as it is relatively
# up-to-date. if the actual "system state" is more important, then the
# caller should probably just check the system state in the first place
# (instead of using these config observers).

## isEffective("path")
# return whether "path" is in "active" config when used outside config
# session,
# OR
# return whether "path" is "effective" during current commit.
# see above discussion about the two different definitions.
#
# "effective" means the path is in effect, i.e., any of the following is true:
#   (1) active && working
#       path is in both active and working configs, i.e., unchanged.
#   (2) !active && working && committed
#       path is not in active, has been set in working, AND has already
#       been committed, i.e., "commit" has already processed the
#       addition/update of the path.
#   (3) active && !working && !committed
#       path is in active, has been deleted from working, AND
#       has NOT been committed yet, i.e., "commit" (per priority) has not
#       processed the deletion of the path yet (or has processed it but
#       the action failed).
#
# note: during commit, deactivate has the same effect as delete. so as
#       far as this function (and any other commit observer functions) is
#       concerned, deactivated nodes don't exist.

  my ($self, $path) = @_;
