I would think the fact that the '[decorators]' syntax can be implemented in pure Python (no changes to the interpreter) for existing Python versions would give more weight to it.
Can it? I must've missed that. It sure sounds like an incredible hack -- how to you prevent the default behavior that the list of decorators is thrown away by the interpreter?
See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/60542 I'm really surprised you missed it, and was likewise disappointed that it wasn't included in the weekly (?) summary. It seemed like a pretty significant development to me. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
