In general, it's cool and useful to be able to attach callbacks to resource consumption events.
Retro does this using aspects. It would be nice to refactor some of this code so that:
- Retro's callbacks aren't tied in to the instrumentation code (eg, have them explicitly attached), so that others can reuse the code
- Implement some sort of general way to define events, and then allow people to attach to them.
For example, the simplest use would be:
on("disk-read", myCallback);
For this to 'just work' would be marvellous. We're pretty much there -- we have the working code and instrumentation -- we just now need it to be organized in the right way.
