Simple after and before MetaLinks are taken into account, with just one check in #visitNode of the ASTTranslator that is

false when no links are there. (which means this slice should not impact anything)

For now this is for very simple MetaLinks: no parameters, no condition, no reification, no #instead/around,��

no meta-level modelling.

Here is a trivial example:

1) get a AST node from our example method:

sendNode := (ReflectivityExamples>>#exampleMethod) ast body statements first value.

2) then we define a link that is just #halt:

link := MetaLink new��

metaObject: Halt;

��selector: #now.

3) we set it:

sendNode link: link.

4) when we now execute the method, we get a halt:

ReflectivityExamples new exampleMethod

5) to get rid of it, uninstall the link:

link uninstall.

If you look at the byte code, you see that it compiles the link to the code:

25 <20> pushConstant: Halt

26 <D1> send: now
