This works with the proof-of-concept code I posted:

     [dec2(), dec1()]
     def g():
         pass

and so does this:

     dec2()
     dec1()
     def g():
         pass

So, I don't know what you mean about no good way to chain them.  The 
chaining is implemented in the tracing hook.

You can always do this:

     def using(*args):
         pass
