At present, there are too many "little" objects that are passed around to parts of the application. E.g. there's a "PropertyHandler" from/to which properties can be read/ written. There's a global save/load object which can save and load various types of data items. There's an update notifier so that updates in one part of the application are sent to other parts of the application, either end of which might be plugins. Rather than have too many little object, I'd like to have one "BIG" object which stores all the little ones, and has methods such as "getPropertyHandler()", "getSaveLoadMediator()", "getPatchMediator()" etc. This will also simplify my interface for Plugins. But given the importance of this central class, I want a really "BIG" name for it. I could call it "BigMediator", or "ImportantObjects", but want a more impressive name. Just thought that calling it "TheCentralScrutinizer" might work, as well as being a tip of the hat to Frank Zappa. But particularly since this object will be important for any future plugin writers, I want a really good class name for it. Any suggestions?
