[aspectj-users] Extend type patterns by qualifiers like public, interfac

["Alexander Kriegisch" <alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there (especially Andy Clement).

Before creating a Bugzilla ticket I wanted to get some developer feedback or hints to features I might have overlooked.

In type patterns (used as part of method signatures, in pertypewithing clauses or in declare parent statements) I generally miss the option to limit the pattern like this:

!interface com.foo..*
public enum foo.bar.Zot

For instance, I guess often it makes sense to exclude interfaces from ITD type patterns when declaring something like "implements Baz".

Is anything like this possible (I don't think so)? Planned? Generally a good idea with a chance of implementation? If so, should I create a ticket for it? I do not want to bloat the ticket list by something without a realistic chance of implementation.

Regards
