I don't think so. I'd hate to see any specific pattern being  
implemented at a base level. Why? Exactly what Marco said. Patterns  
are faddy - you are not going to please everyone. I'd rather see a  
mechanism for injecting first class extensions to existing classes.  
That way, it really doesn't matter what pattern is implemented where.  
That would be far more worthwhile IMO.
