         unconditionaly in _initialize_tasks. This would avoid an
         unecessary notification when the inferior does not use tasking
         or as long as the user does not use the ada-tasks commands.
         Unfortunately, this is not possible for the moment: the current
         code resets ada__tasks_check_symbol_table back to 1 whenever
         symbols for a new program are being loaded. If we place the
         observers intialization here, we will end up adding new observers
         everytime we do the check for Ada tasking-related symbols
         above. This would currently have benign effects, but is still
         undesirable. The cleanest approach is probably to create a new
         observer to notify us when the user is debugging a new program.
         We would then reset ada__tasks_check_symbol_table back to 1
         during the notification, but also detach all observers.
         BTW: observers are probably not reentrant, so detaching during
         a notification may not be the safest thing to do... Sigh...
         But creating the new observer would be a good idea in any case,
         since this allow us to make ada__tasks_check_symbol_table
