.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
In the AspectJ toolkit for Java which Aspect is inspired by, the join point
context information is retrieved through certain keywords.
.PP
In Aspect this initially proved too difficult to achieve without heavy
source code rewriting, and so an alternative approach was taken using a topic
object and methods.
.PP
This \fBexperimental\fR package attempts to implement the original function/keyword
style of call.
.PP
It is considered unsupported at this time.
