Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, to be honest, my initial reaction to this request was pretty much the same. I agree that the AOP approach is better. I also don't like introducing confusion, and I have a feeling that having to reget proxy objects after they are attached will do exactly that.  However, if there is enough community demand for this, especially enough that someone is willing to submit the code to do it, provided the final patch looks good, and doesn't over complicate the code base, I'm ok with making some kind of option for it.
