What about if we just added 'mutable' wrapper/delegate.
e.g. you would actually create your own ClassInfo impl based on existing JavassistCI:
Extra stuff would be held in this mutable wrapper/delegate.
When invoked, first check extra stuff if it exists, else delegate.

What exactly do you mean here?
e.g. ClassInfo ci = factory.getClassInfo(byte[]/File/Url); ?

How do you do this in your prototype?
I guess a single place where you know the aop rules would be enough?
e.g. AOP impl of TypeInfoFactory overridding instantiate method

Annotation visibility?

Why?
This is/shoule be impl detail.

Yup.

Adrian, what would happen now if we used Javassist impl of TypeInfo?
Probably CtClass not found for some non 'default' classes?
