    //! Utility function to optimize the observability graph of an instrument
    /*! This function unregisters the given instrument from the given cashflows and
        instead registers with the observables of the cashflows. This is safe to do if
 
        - the coupon pricers of the cashflows are set before the function is called and never
          updated afterwards
        - the cashflows are not themselves originating notifications, i.e. they only pass through
          notifications from their observables (which is usually the case)
        - the set of cashflows does not dynamically change (usually satisfied as well)
 
        If unregisterCoupons is set to true, all given cashflows are in addition unregistered from
        all their observables. This can be done
 
        - if the coupons are not asked for results directly
        - if deepUpdate() is called on the instrument before retrieving a result; to determine
          whether the result might have changed, isCalculated() can be called on the instrument.
 
       There are overloads of this function for specific instrument types like Swap, Bond.
