[Development] Contribution proposal: Dispatcher class

[Chris Adams]

Hello Yam,

I can think of a couple of places in code I've written where that would be
very useful, personally.
However, when I looked at the repo I couldn't see any license information,
and I'm wondering what license you're planning on releasing it under.

Cheers,
Chris.
