An around code is a code that calls a proceed method

* call is subsituted by the location).

*
The proceed method name is parameterized by the

* proceed, invokeNext,
* runNext, etc).
*
*
Note that if the around code does not call the proceed
* method, then the around instrumentation is similar to a
* replacement of the location. This is not aspect-safe but can be
* useful in some instrumentation process to build AO systems.
