Never heard of it and don't particularly care. I write code to solve
problems,
not to subscribe to whatever structural paradigm is flavour of the

Had a look. Woooo, it uses statics, how cutting edge. Done that myself plenty
of times without knowing it had a special name (kind of an obvious alternative
approach but hey) but now I feel blessed that I can go around saying "Meyer
Pattern" and have others look at me in amazement at my knowledge.
