It is one of the patterns (*) in "Design Patterns" (ISBN 0-201-63361-2).
That is a book many describe as essential. I was a bit disappointed when I
read it: it is full of the "bleeding obvious" (at least if you've got a few
years programming experience).

But maybe it's biggest contribution is giving names to the patterns; I'm
seeing the names crop up more and more in library documentation, etc.
