       In the AspectJ toolkit for Java which Aspect is inspired by, the join point context information is
       retrieved through certain keywords.

       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.

       This experimental package attempts to implement the original function/keyword style of call.

       It is considered unsupported at this time.
