[New-bugs-announce] [issue36772] Let lru_cache be used as a decorator with no arguments

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com>:

Follow the lead of the dataclasses module and allow lru_cache() to be used as a straight decorator rather than as a function that returns a decorator.  Both of these would now be supported:

    @lru_cache
    def f(x):
        ...

    @lru_cache(maxsize=256)
    def f(x):
        ...
