I am a skeptic of the whole concept of "pattern."  Until someone can
give a proper formalization of the concept, I will just solve the
problem at hand with whatever technique I feel is appropriate.

In other words, if you can explain me why what "An observer pattern"
is, and why it would solve the engraver broadcast/acknowledge better,
I will consider using it. (No, I don't feel inclined to read the book).
