+	time, but suppresses further calls until Layout()/Relayout() has been
+	invoked. This method will reenable the notification for the next call of
+	BView::InvalidateLayout().
+
+	If the layout caches internal layout information and updates those
+	information also in methods other than LayoutView(), it has to invoke this
+	method, when it has done so, since otherwise the information might become
+	obsolete without the layout noticing.
