The Componere\Patch class

(Componere 2 >= 2.1.0)

Introduction

The Patch class allows the programmer to change the type of an instance at runtime without registering a new Definition

When a Patch is destroyed it is reverted, so that instances that were patched during the lifetime of the Patch are restored to their formal type.
