	 * provide a way to invalidate those requests when the object is
	 * destroyed.
	 *
	 * An object was passed to __invalidator() which added a callback to
	 * EventLoop::invalidate_request() to its "notify when destroyed"
	 * list. __invalidator() returned an InvalidationRecord that has been
	 * to passed to this function as data.
	 *
	 * The object is currently being destroyed and so we want to
	 * mark all requests involving this object that are queued with
	 * any EventLoop as invalid. 
	 *
	 * As of April 2012, we are usign sigc::trackable as the base object
	 * used to queue calls to ::invalidate_request() to be made upon
	 * destruction, via its ::add_destroy_notify_callback() API. This is
	 * not necessarily ideal, but it is very close to precisely what we
	 * want, and many of the objects we want to do this with already
	 * inherit (indirectly) from sigc::trackable.
