Hi,
I don't want to have this discussion AspectJ list.
Lets talk here.

  Yes I prefer 'adapters' I dont know how to hanle "By Value" and
  by reference stuff if I have no tag.
  You told, transparency is the advantage of .NET . All of transparent 
objects in .NET are COM objects, and all of them implenet IUnknown
  interface, COM does not have "By Value" or you must use 
"Custom  Mashaling" it is not trivial for trivial objects, yes it copies BSTR,
safe arrays and predefined primityve types "OLE Automation", thre are
no "By Value" for COM object, you can implement it youself, but it does not 
like "Serelizable" it is "IPersistSream". It is binary standard and it 
language neutral, I don't say .NET,COM or DCOM is bad,
but it is no very transparent as you thing,
I agree C# is good and transparent, but not all this .NET framework.
I dont say "bad" or "good" for Microsoft, I like it, nothing personal.
Please tell me if it possible to handle all this "By Value" stuff 
transparently in ARMI, it very hard to understand for me.
