Actually, for multi-word method and function names, we preferred
underscores to camelCasing.  But I still wish has_key() were haskey()
and since neither "func" nor "attr" are actual words, funcattrs() is
just fine. :)

I'm torn on whether new decorators should go in as built-ins or not. 
It's darn convenient to stick them there, but I worry that the
documentation for the builtin module is getting pretty hefty now (and
no, I really don't want to do something like an os module split -- man,
I hate those pages ;).
