Changes for version 0.26
- With the primary internals refactoring completely, we now start a series of commits to remove excessive abstractions, and to alter others to more appropriate abstractions (still without changing any of the APIs)
- Cleaning up and refactoring the Aspect/Advice constructor code in Aspect.pm
- Removed the weird Aspect::Advice->new( type, code, pointcut ) for a more conventional ->new setup.
- Attempt to load Sub::Uplevel earlier (before we load Exporter) so there is an increased likelyhood that we don't have to reload Exporter later.
- Removed redundant references to Hook::LexWrap from the POD, and removed the "Convert to Sub::Uplevel" item from the TO DO list.
- Rewrote the Pointcut family of classes to have a simpler structure which should be faster. Some now use blessed ARRAYs as a preparatory step for allowing the AndOp/OrOp pointcuts to have more than just two elements (and to allow enable certain optimisation strategies down the line).
- Removed the faulty Aspect::Pointcut::BinOp abstraction entirely. It was causing boolean and/or operations to always run both sides, so unlike the overloaded expression they were created from, they would never shortcut. This is now resolved, and the an/or pointcut elements now shortcut properly.
