An example of how I used them to solve a problem that's bugged me for years - logging / debugging things like servers. You can write a server in a tiny bit of code, but to see what is going on / wrong you want to log things at every step - or at least the important bits - and your code ends up with lot's of loggin bits everywhere - even if you use a library for the actual logging code.
Now with before / after handlers - no logging code in the server - it's so clean and simple it is gorgeous. When I want logging I add the behavior which includes all the efore / after handlers that havve acess to all the data and just do the logging. When I don;t want them I remove the behavior. Nice.
