[Xotcl] Around methods

[Gustaf Neumann]

The auxiliary methods of CLOS (:around, :before, :after) are  rather
low-level primitives working on  functions compared to XOTcl's
mixin classes and filters, operating on classes (method collections).
Can you give a convincing example, where CLOS style auxiliary
methods are an advantage?
