Sorry, yes, you're correct. I apologize to Phil and the list. It's just rather frustrating to get beat all to hell (and told patronizingly to "read" a freakin' PEP I've read, repeatedly, before even speaking up) for no apparent reason just for raising what IMHO are rather legitimate concerns.
I merely suggested that you review the PEP and discussions, because the concerns you were trying to bring up have been rehashed on Python-Dev about six or seven times over the lifetime of the PEP, to the best of my recollection. Also if I recall correctly, Guido weighed in on at least one or two of those threads pointing out that there was not going to be any practical restriction put on decorators, even if some uses might be considered a bit gauche. I'm sorry if you took my suggestion as implying anything more than that. However, such was not my intention.
