maybe I misunderstood something?

the thing the OP requested looks to me the method
decoration/defadvice-ish thing that we'll see in ruby2, and from the
rubyconf 2k3 it seem that the syntax would be:

def foo:wrap
 blabla
  super
 blablabla
end

that makes sense cause a redefinition in a subclass may be seen just
like a decoration of the first definition.

Next in perl6 should work somehow like this in that it allows method
combination calling a method from another, and even if probably it
does more things (my head was spinning at that point of apocalypse12)
it gives, imo, similar functionality.
