 .Autodetecting aspects through component scanning
-NOTE: You can register aspect classes as regular beans in your Spring XML configuration, using `@Bean` factory method or
-autodetect them through classpath scanning -- the same as any other Spring-managed bean.
-However, note that the `@Aspect` annotation is not sufficient for autodetection in
-the classpath. For that purpose, you need to add a separate `@Component` annotation
-(or, alternatively, a custom stereotype annotation that qualifies, as per the rules of
-Spring's component scanner).

 .Advising aspects with other aspects?
-NOTE: In Spring AOP, aspects themselves cannot be the targets of advice
-from other aspects. The `@Aspect` annotation on a class marks it as an aspect and,
-hence, excludes it from auto-proxying.
