# The command pattern is a behavior design pattern used to store the information
# necessary to call methods at a future time.
# The command is merely a set of actions wrapped in an object. With ruby, we can
# use Procs to do the same thing without the need to create a separate object.
# This is a good option when the action is simple and doesn't require saving
# state information, otherwise, a command class is the better option.
