[patterns-discussion] About the Collecting Parameter pattern

[Jesús Alonso]

Hello.

I need information about the Collecting Parameter design pattern, but all I 
could find was the info in this page: 
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CollectingParameter

The fact is that the information given there about the pattern isn't enough 
for me to understand very well the pattern.
I would find helpful any information about what this pattern does exactly, 
some examples, and maybe a concrete context where it could be applied 
successfully and why.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
  Jesús Alonso
