/**
 * <p>
 * Wraps the result of a query for buffered notifications.  In a remote
 * scenario, it may be more practical for the server to buffer individual
 * notifications from its beans and then return them in bulk on request.
 * This class contains the notifications returned by such a request.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * It consists of a series of {@link Notification} and identifier pairs,
 * wrapped in a {@link TargetedNotification} object.  The identifiers
 * serve to pair up the notification with the listener that requested
 * it.  Two positive numbers are also included: the first sequence number
 * used by the returned notifications, and the sequence number of the
 * notification which will be returned by the next query.  The first
 * sequence number may be greater than the next sequence number if some
 * notifications have been lost.
 * </p>
