Now it calls updated which calls notifyClients by default.

I suppose updateShouldNotify is now a bit of a misnomer, since notifyClients is only called by default. I'm not suggesting that the method should be called updateShouldCallUpdated though.

I think from the perspective of people using the API, it's still conceptually more useful to think of it as a method that says whether to send the notifications.

Doing this test in updated is subtly different (since calls to notifyClients used to be gated by updateShouldNotify) Hopefully no one will notice.

Yeah, I wrestled with this quite a bit. I hope this is a subtle enough change to be fine.

ChangeNotified => ChangeNotifier

This is a little confusing because Listenable isn't (necessarily) a Notifier and the developer might be wondering what "sends notifications" means.

I'll update the docs for Listenable to make the terminology clearer.

Needs an assert(child != null)

Does this need to document the fact that we're comparing the notifiers with ==?
