Hey, you know, I was thinking that if I could name type expressions like I can name pointcuts, then this wouldn't be as big a deal.
Consider: declare @type : org.example.foo.Bar+ : @Goo; declare @type : org.example.foo.Bar+ : @Hoo; I have no idea what a good syntax might be to name type expressions. Perhaps a new pointcut designator like "type"? Then, you could write: pointcut thoseAnnoyingTypes() : type(org.example.foo.Bar+); /* admittedly not really a pointcut... */ declare @type : thoseAnnoyingTypes() : @Goo; declare @type : thoseAnnoyingTypes() : @Hoo; I'm pretty sure named type expressions would be useful elsewhere, like in "declare error" & "declare warning" statements, and pointcut designators "handler", "within", etc: pointcut thoseAnnoyingTypes() : type(org.example.foo.Bar+); declare @type : thoseAnnoyingTypes() : @Goo, @Hoo; pointcut withinAnnoyingTypes() : within(thoseAnnoyingTypes()); Thoughts?
