Ah? I still haven't understood what "Gang of Four" is supposed to be, however.
Is it a design pattern?
The gang of four are the four folk who wrote the classic design patterns
book:

Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides.
Besides, saying "I use the strategy design pattern" doesn't tell a lot, while an
ad hoc description is much more informational (witness Martin's explanation for
example).
It's like those frameworks who have a class simply named "Factory" ;)
Well, depending on the circumstances it can convey some to no
information. :-)
