@ddriver So, the asker is expected to know whether there is a standard term for this particular paradigm in order to know which site to ask the question on? If there is a standard term, then the question is a fit for SO and if not, the question is a fit for Programmers? This is a bit of a catch-22, don't you think? This question is not asking for a discussion on what to call this paradigm--it's asking if there
is a name for it, and if so, what is that name? To me, this seems a perfect fit for SO. If you don't agree, you could leave a better explanation as to why it's not a fit for SO? —
