Decorator: Composition or Aggregation?

[thomasoss]

Hello, I refere to decorator pattern
I think the relationship between decorator and target (in the code example between Troll und SmartTroll) ist not a composition as described in the code comment lines of class App. In a compostion both instances canncot live without the other one. But the target (Troll) could live without the decorator (Smart Troll). Consequently this is a aggregation?

Good point @thomasoss and I tend to agree with you.

Composition implies a relationship where the child cannot exist independent of the parent.
Aggregation implies a relationship where the child can exist independently of the parent.

Looking forward to pull request fixing this issue.
