Abstract aspects alone should have no effect on a system - no advice 
is woven, and no inter-type declarations are implemented.  So if that's
all you have, the IDE is showing you what you get - nothing!

This presents a great tool question; users of course need to be able
to work with abstract aspects, to see what the advice (might) advise,
to test out the declare-warnings, etc.  Hmm...
