I would be quite happy with the word 'as' to list function modifiers.
It seems like good English to me--albeit a somewhat different
connotation than 'import x as y'.

But just to throw options out, 'make' is another short word that works
in the context, IMO.  And 'make' is not used in a different sense within
Python.  I.e.

    def foo(x,y) make staticmethod:
        ...do stuff...

Yours, Lulu...
