  open/closed principle
       
           A principle used in OOPL which states
          that a class must be open and closed where open means it has
          the ability to be extended and closed means it cannot be
          modified other than by extension.
       
          The idea is that once a class has been approved for use having
          gone through code reviews, unit tests, and other qualifying
          procedures, you don't want to change the class very much, just
          extend it.  In practice the open/closed principle simply means
          making good use of abstraction and polymorphism.
