(Jim Coplien calls this a Letter/Envelope idiom, with the inner instance being the letter and the outer instance being the envelope.)

GLU ♮ embedded in C++: a marriage between multidimensional and object‐oriented programming. Software: Practice and Experience. June 2004. Vol. 34, no. 7, p. 609–630. DOI 10.1002/spe.582. Abstract The embedding of a small but expressive language of multidimensional functional programming in a well known and widely used language of object‐oriented programming leads to the combination of two radically different programming models. In this paper, we formally define the syntax and semantics of GLU ♮ , which can be thought of as the multidimensional core of Lucid and GLU, and we describe its implementation as a language embedded in C++. With the aid of a few examples, we argue that the marriage of the two programming models is not only compatible and natural, but also that it produces a new and interesting hybrid language.
