 * Proxy pattern
 *
 * Purpose:
 * to interface to anything that is expensive or impossible to duplicate
 *
 * Examples:
 * - Doctrine2 uses proxies to implement framework magic (e.g. lazy initialization) in them, while the user still works
 *   with his own entity classes and will never use nor touch the proxies
