I have never made use of reification of actions in real software before. Can anybody weigh in on the costs, methods, tools, or any other aspect of extensive action reification? I'm gonna have to experiment with this.

I'm pretty sure you're lying ;) . If you've ever used the GOF command pattern or an object representing an action, you've used reification.

You're absolutely right, I meant to say "extensive" action reification, in the sense that the author claims you must reify "all your actions"—although, indeed, I've never used the GOF command pattern.

In any case, perhaps I the question I meant to ask was, "Does anybody care to share some thoughts on designing systems with complete action reification?"

Update (in case anybody sees this) an example of the sort of information I was looking for could be found here: http://collectiveidea.com/blog/archives/2012/06/28/wheres-yo...
