[clazz] Delegator [Re: [clazz] Just a beginning...]

[Stephen Colebourne <sc...@btopenworld.com>]

I definitely consider this 'in scope'. It is a key part, and will have
multiple implementations

- Method + Object (simple reflection)
- Property object (Joda)
- own storage (non Class implementation, eg. ResultSet wrapper)

From: "Steve Downey" <st...@netfolio.com>
Delegator is a bound method reference. Triggering the delegator causes a
call
on a particular method on a particular object. The triggerer doesn't need to
be aware of either the object or the method.

There's also a variant that can delegate the call to many objects.

Berin said this was inspired by the C# construct, which means that it's
related to the Microsoft J++ extension. Anders Hejlsberg introduced it as
part of the framework he implemented. Anders was also the original architect
of Borland's Delphi. An interesting interview with him is here:

(I posted this before, when Berin proposed it)
