It is French:

I thought it was common in English too, but clearly I was mistaken.

Because in a later refactoring I may want to replace a function with a
generator function or viceversa, and I don't want to use a different
decorator. The application I had in mind was a Web framework
where you can write something like
@expose
def page(self):
return 'Hello World!'
or
@expose
def page(self):
yield 'Hello '
yield 'World!'
indifferently. I seem to remember CherryPy has something like that.
