	It's not even necessary to create a new class; you can implement

delegate methods on an existing class.  The choice of a class to act as
a delegate should consider whether the delegate method depends on any
state, whether the delegate object will always exist when needed, etc.
An "esthetic" consideration might be whether the delegate object is
somehow "related" to the object that needs a delegate.
