Thanks for clarifying. I had most of it written before posting and had forgotten the code samples. My copy of Design Patterns is packed up for a move. I've update it to refer to C++.

Actually, people have visited, but few have stayed to read. My goal is to clarify the concept. I did plenty of research before writing this including asking Lieberman and others about it. I first wondered how everyone's notion could be wrong and doubted that my understanding was correct.

This is a term that others have attempted to clarify as well http://javalab.cs.uni-bonn.de/research/darwin/delegation.htm...
