Yes, I do believe I learned the concept from Coplien's book. I
believe he calls them "functors". (My apologies to anyone who might
have mistakenly thought I was claiming to have invented the concept.)
It's one of those marvelous inventions which is so obvious once it has
been shown to you that you forget that you ever had to learn it in the
first place. Moreover, it solves a phenomenal number of problems so
that it becomes a nearly basic tool. I hardly ever create a
step-by-step process these days without first creating an object to
represent the state of the process.
Hope this helps,
-Chris
