Maybe something like the __metaclass__ syntax is
called for:

   def myfunction(args):
     __functionclass__ = myspecialfunc
     ...

(I know that looks like a local variable assignment,
but it wouldn't be. As Guido once said about something else,
"It's a double-underscore name -- I can give it whatever
semantics I want!")
