Add a DataContextChanged event

We often need to know when the DataContext on a Framework element has changed. We have the DataContextChanged event in WPF but not Silverlight. This leads to workarounds like the clever MyDataContext Dependency Property in this blog post : http://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/archive/2008/12/29/how-to-know-when-the-datacontext-changed-in-your-control.aspx

It would be much better just to have the event in the first place.

        It would be great not to have to work around this any more. Never understood why DataContextDependencyProperty is private.
