There's a little more to it than that.  But on the whole I do support
the goal of finding a simple, short description of what this construct
is intended to do.  If it can be described accurately in a sentence
or two, that's a good sign that the semantics are sufficiently clear
and simple.

No, please let's not call them that.  "Manager" is a very common word
to describe all kinds of classes in object-oriented designs, and it is
so generic as to hardly mean anything.  (Sorry, i don't have a better
alternative at the moment.)
