The Notice Board pattern: returns the most recent value associated with a key,
or blocks waiting for a new value if the current value has already been seen.

History is not stored; only the most recent value is available.

The physical analogy is a notice board like you might see at a train station:
when you arrive at the station you can glance at the board to check the current
departure time for your train, or you can stand around watching the board
waiting for the inevitable message that your train has been delayed.
