Interface to be implemented by classes that hold the configuration
of a factory of AOP proxies. This configuration includes the
Interceptors and other advice, Advisors, and the proxied interfaces.

Any AOP proxy obtained from Spring can be cast to this interface to
allow manipulation of its AOP advice.

Set whether the proxy should be exposed by the AOP framework as a ThreadLocal for retrieval via the AopContext class. 
It can be necessary to expose the proxy if an advised object needs to invoke a method on itself with advice applied. Otherwise, if an advised object invokes a method on this, no advice will be applied. 
Default is false, for optimal performance.
