Hmm.  You have conflated defining the function with defining the
parameters.

My argument is that the syntax doesn't obviously imply either
interpretation.

I advocate a 'nonstatic' decorator.  Also, I don't think a 'static'
decorator, had Python taken the other interpretation, would have been
that bad a combination.
