So far, I've only seen this one use case for prepartial - and I'd
rather have decorator_withargs itself than prepartial.  Do you have
any other use cases for prepartial (from real code somewhere)?

Currently, I'm -1 on adding prepartial to functools, and +0.5 on
adding something like decorator_withargs.
