Method interception on non-guice created objects

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Could it be possible to add the method interception functionality on non
Guice-created objects ?

I know this is not the primary goal of Guice, but it could be interesting
in the way that Guice can inject non Guice-created objects (with method
injectMembers), therefore we keep a parallel.

Here is how I see it:

new method: public <T> T Injector.intercept(T obj, MethodInterceptor...
interceptors);

1. intercept would check the class of obj then check in the interceptors
list if one matches
2. intercept would check if the class is valid according to limitations
3. intercept would create a new subclass of obj's class (if needed), like
it is currently done, with the delegate pattern in mind.
4. intercept would add optional interceptors given as parameters.
5. intercept returns a new instance of the newly created class, and
provides it with obj (if using the delegate pattern).

Guice is designed to work for objects created by Guice.  If you would like
interception of non-Guice created objects, please consider writing your own 
utilities
that take the proper interfaces.
