Depending on which tricks you mean, I think they all deserve proper
syntax (static and methods, properties, super, ...), e.g.

class Foo:
  def m1(kl)[classmethod]:
    pass
  def m2()[staticmethod]:
    pass
  def m3()[get('x')]:
    return -1

A shame for whom? As I said - unless somebody contributes a solution,
there is none.
