The auxiliary methods of CLOS (:around, :before, :after) are rather low-level primitives working on functions compared to XOTcl's mixin classes and filters, operating on classes (method collections). Can you give a convincing example, where CLOS style auxiliary methods are an advantage?

Hi,

I was wondering if you had considered implementing before, after, and around auxiliary methods similar to their implementation in CLOS? I understand that similar things can be done with mixins and filters, but there are a few things that are more easily done with auxiliary methods.

Thanks,

Ben
