An abstract class, or superclass, for CompositeNotifier and LeveledNotifier to inherit. It provides several wrapper methods for the OutputMethod object used by the Notifier.
The prefix for this Notifier,
which is appended to all objects being inspected during output.
Creates a new Notifier object
 
               # File irb/notifier.rb, line 47
def initialize(prefix, base_notifier)
  @prefix = prefix
  @base_notifier = base_notifier
end
             
            Execute the given block if notifications are enabled.
 
               # File irb/notifier.rb, line 105
def exec_if
  yield(@base_notifier) if notify?
end
             
            A wrapper method used to determine whether notifications are enabled.
Defaults to true.
 
               # File irb/notifier.rb, line 59
def notify?
  true
end
             
            Same as ppx, except it uses the prefix given during object initialization. See IRB::OutputMethod#ppx for more detail.
 
               # File irb/notifier.rb, line 88
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.
See IRB::OutputMethod#ppx for more detail.
