Ichthyostega 18d0970a86 Rework Interface-Proxy definition to fit with the new scheme
everything works now after the switch.
BUT this solution is ugly, we need to trigger template instantiation explicitly

/** @file gui-notification-facade.h
** Major public Interface of the Lumiera GUI. While from a user's point of view,
** the GUI controls the application and thus acts on its own, in fact the UI sends
** command messages to the Session subsystem in Proc-Layer. These commands cause
** changes in the session, which result in notification and structure change messages
** being pushed up asynchronously back into the UI. The GuiNotification interface
** abstracts this ability of the UI to receive such update messages. It is implemented
** by the NotificationService within the GUI Layer, which causes actual tangible changes
** to happen in the UI in response to the reception of these messages.
**
** @see notification-service.hpp implementation
** @see gui::GuiFacade
** @see main.cpp
