ClassTransformation needs ability to rename a method and extend the beginning 
of a method

                 Key: TAPESTRY-1615
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1615
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.0.5
            Reporter: Dan Adams
             Fix For: 5.0.6


My original problem:

-------------------------------------------
Okay, so I'm creating a @Once annotation that when applied to a method
like so:

@Once
public List<Foos> getFoos() {
  // do some expensive operation like reading foos from the db
}

you can call getFoos() as much as you want and it will only actually
execute once, allowing you to reference foos many times in your template
(or elsewhere) without having to worry about doing expensive operations
multiple times or having to cache a value manually.

I had this working just fine in T4 because you could call the superclass
method but since this is transforming the class I can't call
super.getFoos(). ClassTransformation doesn't seem to have any methods
for renaming a method or replacing any calls to it.
--------------------------

This could be solved by either being able to rename a method so all calls go to 
your new method which can call the old method or by being able to add code to 
the beginning of a method similar to how extendMethod() currently adds to the 
end.
