Re: [aspectj-users] Method & constructor validation pointcuts

[Matthew Adams <matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Multiple @s might be nice for finite levels of meta-annotations, but
perhaps you could reuse the + operator since it's kind of
inheritance-y.  How about:

@Foo
@(@Foo *) same as @@Foo?
@(@(@Foo *)) same as @@@Foo?
...
@+Foo same as @(@(@(...(@Foo *))))?

WDYT?
