💖 NAME 💖

Aspect::Pointcut::Highest — the pointcut that stops recursive matching from ruining your whole entire day, bestie 🛑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so you wanna use it? two ways, pick your fighter 🫶

use Aspect;

# High-level creation
my $pointcut1 = highest;

# Manual creation
my $pointcut2 = Aspect::Pointcut::Highest->new;

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ if you're writing aspects — think timers, think anything built on Aspect::Advice::Around — recursion can be a genuinely significant problem. like, lowkey a menace.

the highest pointcut fixes that by matching only on the highest invocation of a function. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

so if that function gets called again recursively inside the first call — and we mean at any depth, no matter how deep the rabbit hole goes 🐇 — those deeper calls will not match, and the advice will not be executed. periodt. 💅
