Well, I think it's just a natural signal a notebook should have
(as seen in some other widget libraries). I personally needed
a comfortable way of stepping in when a page is switched, because
in my notebook each page represents the contents of a file on
disk, and instead of loading all files on startup, I wanted to 
do a "load on demand".

It would certainly be possible to use "map" and "unmap" somehow,
but I think this is a cleaner and nicer solution. (Hope I did
everything right !? ;)
