I wouldn't consider ContextL an AOP language in a strict sense, but  
it enables grouping potentially crosscutting behavior and activating  
and deactivating them at runtime. [1] It has been used in a number of  
projects, including industrial ones, mostly for generating documents  
in different formats from the same document model, but also for other  
purposes.

See http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/contextl.html for more  
information.

[1] It's not AOP in the strict sense because it doesn't provide a  
pointcut model.
