I do agree Paul, the name of the pattern is already quite helpful in many cases.

I agree. But I still think using the pattern name can communicate intent
very well on its own in many cases.

For the strategy/(degenerate)bridge example at hand, if my intent is that
the implementation will vary, then I will call my solution a bridge. If some
sort of algorithm is varying, I will call it a strategy. In both cases the
code structure will look very similar, but the participant names will be
different. Right away, without any other info, someone familiar with GoF
will be on his/her way of knowing what I am doing.
