Hopefully we can make some progress on this over the next two weekends
with the planned Dojo doc-a-thons.

That said, if you're using 1.7, perhaps you want to take a look at
dojo/aspect?  http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojo/aspect.html

Unfortunately, dojo/aspect is very primitive compared to the dojox.lang.aspect implementation.

For example, dojo/aspect lacks the useful advise() function and the bundled (but poorly documented) advice objects like tracer, memoizer, etc.

Having two entirely separate "aspect" modules within a single library is confusing. I can understand if the 1.7 version of aspects was written to be ultra lightweight and is used in core dojo, but shouldn't the richer functionality itself be modulized and reaquired() as needed, without overlapping core dojo/aspect?
