I can do the same thing with typical inheritance-by delegation 
prototype-based programming. Aspects appear to me to be a small subset 
of the functionality of prototypes, except with prototypes you get a 
both a simpler and more powerful object model instead of a yet another 
one-off feature tacked onto classes.
