Real world examples where it would be useful are generally worth much more than invented examples.
I agree that @const is not really a useful "value decorator." I was just picking up the example that occurred up-thread. Here's something I think could be more useful (again, I'm +0 at best myself).
@unit("meter") a = 3 # a = unit("meter")("a", 3) @unit("foot") b = 4 # b = unit("foot")("b", 4) a, a.name, a.unit (3, "a", "meter")
Implementation left to reader, but basically it's exactly Ricky's __new__(), just wrapped in a class factory function to parameterize the unit. -- The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the not-yet born. Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born, become abortifacients against new conceptions.
