[abc] PLDI paper -99 cflow and steamloom

I have been reviewing paper 99 for PLDI, which is on the topic
of how the steamloom guys implemented cflow in their VM. This
is the only "aspectjy" paper that seems to have any chance.
However, there are certain problems with the paper. At least
I would like to at least clarify the discussion of abc in this
paper, even if it gets rejected - assuming that this paper will
find a home somewhere.

I have prepared the attached discussion of abc, and used the
microbenchmark given in the paper to clarify the issue. I have
attached what I plan to add to my review (abcnotes.txt).

I would really like to have abc'ers opinion on this paper. Do
we want to push it a bit - at least it shows that cflow is
a problem and abc does well ... or is it too weak a paper
overall? Do you agree with my discussion of abc/ajc and how
it relates to this paper?

Cheers, Laurie
