Aspect oriented Everything?

[Evan Simpson]

Based on your explanation, it seems to me that one way to view AOP is as 
a way of defining "method templates" that can be applied from "outside" 
of the code that defines the methods via pattern-matching on classes.

There have been quite a few times when I've found myself wanting to be 
able to abstract a pattern across function or method definitions, but 
where the shared operations involve so much local state that refactoring 
into explicit subfunctions is too awkward.  Usually I end up with 
cut-and-paste code or a bulky class-based solution.
