Subject: Object.use as an annotation

Hi,

Groovy allows you to create a `Category` class that can be later `use`d. A
great example is `TimeCategory` that makes dealing with time easy.

Also I see the `@Category` annotation that allows you to mark a class as a
category. However when it is time to `use` that category, you need to write

use (TimeCategory) {
  // some code
}

I was wondering was if there is an annotation I could apply to my method,
e.g. `@Use(TimeCategory)` to get the same effect.

Is there something in groovy that does that, or any library that already
does that?

R,
rahul
