+    Info/warning/error reporter and ``system_message`` element generator.
+
+    Five levels of system messages are defined, along with corresponding
+    methods: `debug()`, `info()`, `warning()`, `error()`, and `severe()`.
+
+    There is typically one Reporter object per process.  A Reporter object is
+    instantiated with thresholds for reporting (generating warnings) and
+    halting processing (raising exceptions), a switch to turn debug output on
+    or off, and an I/O stream for warnings.  These are stored as instance
+    attributes.
+
+    When a system message is generated, its level is compared to the stored
+    thresholds, and a warning or error is generated as appropriate.  Debug
+    messages are produced if the stored debug switch is on, independently of
+    other thresholds.  Message output is sent to the stored warning stream if
+    not set to ''.
+
+    The Reporter class also employs a modified form of the "Observer" pattern
+    [GoF95]_ to track system messages generated.  The `attach_observer` method
+    should be called before parsing, with a bound method or function which
+    accepts system messages.  The observer can be removed with
+    `detach_observer`, and another added in its place.
