     * For the state `{a: {b: {c: 1}}}` after `set(['a', 'b', 'c'], 2)` operation the following paths will be reported:

     *  For the state `{a: {b: {c: 1}}}` after `set(['a', 'b'], {})` operation the following paths will be reported:
     *   - For an observer at path ['a', 'b', 'c'] => []. (no paths -> parent was modified, not node 'c').
