Re: Or...
There's nothing wrong with what you are suggesting on the face of it, but in my personal experience it's a solution looking for a problem. I don't see errors like this creeping into the codebase.
Patterns which resolve common programming problems, absolutely! I code mainly in C++, and so in the last 10 years various patterns have come in which make a positive contribution - standardised containers which are fast enough to use without worry, smart pointers, std::atomic, ranged for loops, there's a long list of sensible ways to resolve common problems.
