def initialize(prefix, base_notifier)
  @prefix = prefix
  @base_notifier = base_notifier

            Execute the given block if notifications are enabled.

def exec_if
  yield(@base_notifier) if notify?
end

Defaults to true.

            Same as ppx, except it uses the prefix given during object initialization. See OutputMethod#ppx for more detail.

def pp(*objs)
  if notify?
    @base_notifier.ppx @prefix, *objs
  end
end
             
            Same as pp, except it concatenates the given prefix with the prefix given during object initialization.
