Hi Larry:

enclosed is a quote from a paper from Oxford/Microsoft

Aspect-Oriented Programming

The inability to separate apsects is not exclusive 
to the area of compiler writing, and it has received considerable
attention in other areas of programming, such as distributed systems, avionics
and database programming. Indeed, Gregor Kiczales and his team at 
Xerox have initiated a study of aspect-oriented programming in general terms,
and the notion of adaptive object-oriented programming of Karl Lieberherr et al.
shares many of these goals.
Don Batory and his team at the University of Texas at Austin
have studied ways to describe aspects in software generators that cut across
traditional object class boundaries. The present paper is a modest 
contribution to these developments, by showing how compilers
can be structured in an aspect-oriented style.
