I would be happy to add a mention, but with Guido not saying that was a possibility I just didn't think about it. It is no way meant to suggest I think anything is "unworthy" in terms of what you, Philip, and everyone else who helped come up with that implementation. The summaries are just what I happen to think of when I write the summary (which is a first draft; I don't proof-read as I am sure some of you may have noticed =).
Since David's idea allows decorators to be implemented even in Python 2.2 without any special language support, this is actually pretty big news for anybody who's been waiting with bated breath for Python to support decorators. They can now go "roll their own" for 2.2 and 2.3 using a variant of the syntax Guido first proposed. So, a mention would be a good thing, I think.
