I've just happened to stumble on this discussion on a C# 11 feature, where someone who I think is on the language team (HaloFour)says ".. using source generators for AOP has been effectively rejected by the language team ..".

I don’t think this is a new revelation, but rather someone re-stating what was already stated in the original doc introducing source generators that I’ve read a few month ago, around November 2021-ish? … which said something along the lines that they explicitly making it impossible to use it for AOP.

Personally I think that dogmatic crusade against AOP while adding a menagerie of syntax sugar hieroglyphics :? :: !! :+ … is a bit misguided, but whatever.
