ironically, it looks like there is a company whose business is
solely based on this idea

looks like they are quite successful
(https://www.postsharp.net/). The list of features
(https://www.postsharp.net/features) proves that more access is
better than no access, because otherwise none of them would be
possible.
I know that a lot of the stuff are possible with mixin templates
but, you can only wrap existing code with them. You can't modify
the function bodies.
