I haven't seen anyone remark upon this yet, but the order of decorator

def test_order(self):

            @funcattrs(abc=1) @staticmethod
            def foo(): return 42
        # This wouldn't work if staticmethod was called first
        self.assertEqual(C.foo(), 42)
        self.assertEqual(C().foo(), 42)
How odd. I'm positive at one point I tested this and it was
the right way round.
Mark, is it possible that this changed between the first and
final versions of the decorator patch? The SF report doesn't
list any of the older versions...

Thanks,
Anthony
