+/**
+ * Command pattern
+ *
+ * Purpose:
+ * to build a simple interface for commands that can all be run by just executing a single method they all have in
+ * common, often called 'run' or 'execute'
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ * - Symfony2: SF2 Commands that can be run from the CLI are built with just the Command pattern in mind
+ * - big CLI tools use subcommands to distribute various tasks and pack them in "modules", each of these
+ *   can be implemented with the Command pattern (e.g. vagrant)
+ *
