	/// Superinterface for all before advice.
	/// </summary>
	/// <remarks>
	/// <p>
	/// <i>Before</i> advice is advice that executes before a joinpoint, but
	/// which does not have the ability to prevent execution flow proceeding to
	/// the joinpoint (unless it throws an <see cref="System.Exception"/>).
	/// </p>
	/// <p>
	/// Spring.NET only supports <i>method</i> before advice. Although this
	/// is unlikely to change, this API is designed to allow <i>field</i>
	/// before advice in future if desired.
