No. This dual-purpose modelling used to exist in old ODD, but
we explicitly broke the connection during the Class War.  Hard
to reconstruct the thinking now, and you could certainly

perhaps not. do you want listChange to appear all over the shop,
which would be the result? well, possibly, but i don't think its simply
an omission.
