Just for the fun, I wonder if LtU subscribers would like to entertain themselves by thinking about how the olde rhyme about "Butcher, Baker, CandlestickMaker" (BBCM) might map either to or from, say, a design pattern or software idiom (assuming these are not tautologous).

For want of not leading the proposal, I would prefer to refrain from providing the dozen or so examples (usecases in OO-speak) that I have thought of. However to seed the discussion (and hoping the ensuring discussion will generated other seeds) let's consider some hint words like "push", "pull", "factory", "interface", "implementation" and, well, too many leading words already.

So who's up to the game?
