// Mediator Design Pattern
//
// Intent: Lets you reduce chaotic dependencies between objects. The pattern
// restricts direct communications between the objects and forces them to
// collaborate only via a mediator object.

Client triggers operation A.
Component 1 does A.
Mediator reacts on A and triggers following operations:
Component 2 does C.

Client triggers operation D.
Component 2 does D.
Mediator reacts on D and triggers following operations:
Component 1 does B.
Component 2 does C.
