      It is too low level for AOP.  It is difficult to manage multiple
      method wrappers or per method modifiers.

      Performance comes to my mind first.  Probably avoiding infinite
      loop (thus invocation of method_dispatch should be treated
      specially) comes next.

I think AOP should be built in to the language in more higher level.
