That's right, but incremental compilation is different from reweaving.

Right now we've imposed a limitation that .class files can only be woven once,
so you can't weave in an aspect and then reweave it or any others.

But if you *want* an aspect to apply twice, you could make it abstract
and have two concrete subaspects, and weave them both in one go.

Is there a concern that drove this question?  Did that answer it?
