Right, and the three or four variants suggested (and the 
vars(self).update() suggestion) all do exactly that. I was talking about 
the specific responses (though I can see my language is vague).

[FWIW I've been using Python the whole time that decorators have existed 
and I've yet to need to write one - I've _used_ some non-parameterized 
ones though - so I guess I'd forgotten that they can take parameters]
