The commit observer is a structure containing a callback that is invoked
whenever the `commit()` method changes a wire or a memory. This allows
code external to the compiled netlist to react to changes in the design
state in a very efficient way. One example of how this feature can be
used is an efficient implementation of record/replay.
Note that the VCD writer does not benefit from this feature because it
must be able to react to changes in any debug items and not just those
that contain design state.
