This isnt a request because I suspect it is probably currently impossible (requiring compiler changes), but I thought I'd post it anyway.

What I would love to see is support for AOP during compilation and within the IDE editor itself.

Imagine the following class

[RoleHolder]
public class Person
{
}

and now using that class....

public class SomeClass
{
  public void DoSomething(Person person)
  {
    if (!person.RoleHolder.HasRole<EmployeeRole>())
      throw new ArgumentException(.....);
    SomeOtherClass.DoSomethingElse( (IRoleHolder) person );
  }
}

Not only does the fictitious example add interface support + a method to Person but it is also recognised by the compiler allowing me to cast in my code and would also show RoleHolder as a property on person when using code-insight.

Wouldn't that be great?
