FWIW, I'd be very much +1 on something like this, which feels much more
'pythonic' and elegant to me than the @ syntax.  I know I'm biased because the
@ syntax will force me to change ipython and it will break current ipython for
anyone wanting to use 2.4, but I'm honestly trying to assess it beyond ipython. 
And I still don't like it, while JP's solution seems nice and clean to me.
