Speaking of waiting for a particular feature...

We are using AspectJ 5 for a compiler course project in the upcoming term
(starting 28/8). In that, we are using covariant return types for non-intertype
methods overriding intertype methods (bug #91381). More specifically, we are
injecting abstract methods into generated AST classes as handles to common
subclass methods. It would be great if this bug could be fixed soon, as the
alternative for us would be to use some ugly reflection hack. We are perfectly
happy with using a development build.
