Subject: ruby and aop

Hi!

I am one of the developers of AspectWerkz [1] a plain Java aop implementation. During the last 
months a have played a little with Ruby, and even if I am sure I haven't got yet the right ruby 
mindset I see a lot of potential here.

Lately, considering that aop is one of my passions, I was looking for an aop implementation in Ruby. 
I have found AspectR [2] being the only one and a couple of more or less theoretical proposals.

I have also noticed that some guys here are interested in this field (Trans, Peter Vanbroekhoven, 
etc - sorry if I don't mention all the names or I am using just nicknames).

I would be very interesting to find out from more advanced Ruby users which were the hard parts they 
have reached while trying to do aop in Ruby. I am asking this as I am considering to start a project 
to support the full aop implementation in Ruby (probably in some places adapted to the 
needs/specifics of Ruby).

many thanks for all your future answers,
