The itch that Aspect Oriented Programming was trying to address was that some functionality only needs to differ by what happens in the preamble or the afterward.

And that can be simulated in code you own by splitting the meat of a set of requirements into one or two bodies, and then doing setup, tear down, or a step in the middle differently in different contexts. So now you have a set of similar tasks with a set of subtasks that intersect or are a superset of the other.
