But here packageOne is a type name and not a package name. IMHO if you
are looking for advise calls whose compile time target methods are
contained within a certain package you should be able to do so w/o a
dynamic check. Also, IMHO package containment shouldn't be considered
transitive, i.e., when one type inherits from another type it does not
take on its package. Does that make sense?
