> garbage collection for Aspects, when using the pertypewithin
The aspect can be garbage-collected when the corresponding Class can be,
regardless of the number of instances of that class.

I may be wrong about this, but afaik a class is available for garbage collection only if its classloader is available for gc. Probably a good example would be a webapp in a servlet container: only upon redeploy the classes in the prev deploy become available for gc.
