deleteNotify asks for a notification to be sent when a specific object is deleted.

So an AI might set a target object, then set a deleteNotify so that the AI is notified if the target object gets deleted at some point.

clearNotify clears the request for a deleteNotify.
Note that the comment for clearNotify in the source code "Notify an object when we are cleared." is utter nonsense.
