享元模式 [取自wikipedia]
享元模式（英语：Flyweight Pattern）是一种软件设计模式。它使用共享物件，用来尽可能减少内存使用量以及分享资讯给尽可能多的相似物件；它适合用于当大量物件只是重复因而导致无法令人接受的使用大量内存。通常物件中的部分状态是可以分享。常见做法是把它们放在外部数据结构，当需要使用时再将它们传递给享元。
典型的享元模式的例子为文书处理器中以图形结构来表示字符。一个做法是，每个字形有其字型外观, 字模 metrics, 和其它格式资讯，但这会使每个字符就耗用上千字节。取而代之的是，每个字符参照到一个共享字形物件，此物件会被其它有共同特质的字符所分享；只有每个字符（文件中或页面中）的位置才需要另外储存。
以下程式用来解释上述的文件例子。这个例子用来解释享元模式利用只载立执行立即小任务所必需的资料，因而减少内存使用量。

FontData is immutable.}
