Well, I'm not sure what I want in this case.  Wrapping methods is a
great idea to satisfy a common idiom.  I think it does seem a bit
wrong not to allow multiple wrappers, though.  The idiom as it stands
(alias method to something else, and call alias from redefined method)
can be used to wrap a method several times if desired.

What method are you talking about?  Oh, aspectr I suppose.
