Both yes and no.  Not really and of course.  For a large part, AOP is a
buzzword approach of simply organizing your code's functionality.  While
its utility from a full-blown language-level adoption and any perceived
benefits are themselves debatable, the core idea is organiztion based on
categories (i.e. aspects) of functionality.

We do this in BRL-CAD extensively already through library groupings and
collections of small binaries that perform succint tasks.  For example, our
"logging aspect" is encapsulated into libbu via simple logging routines
(e.g. bu_log) that are enforced via convention throughout the code as the
logging means.

Either way, this is certainly not a feature request nor even slightly
useful information unless you intend to contribute code.  Please do not
just pose open-ended questions to any of our trackers.  Please be specific
and relate the bug, feature request, support request, or other posting
specifically to BRL-CAD behavior, code, functionality, etc and not just
philosophical thought provocation or wikipedia link spam.
