Please allow we to add my two cents because I don't quite share your
opinion on that. An aspect per se assumes nothing at all. It's the
programmer who assumes and he/she can either be consciously aware of
other aspects or be ignorant and run into trouble. I agree with you
that the means that AJ provides to support a programmer in discovering
and customizing aspect interaction is not ideal but surely there are
very successful AspectJ based systems that use a good hand full of
aspects.
On another note, adding a proceed-joinpoint should be a matter of a
couple of hours when extending abc. If you think such a joinpoint
would be useful I encourage you to just try it out.
