Ok. I was (erroneusly) assuming it (the args() pointcut) is used either to
collect context or to pick join points, but not both at the same time. This
is the case with this() and target() pointcuts - if you provide a type name,
they pick join points and if you provide an id they collect context. Or am I
wrong here, too?
