I can't really comment on decorators and subclassing yet (still a
newb) but I am finding this discussion very informative... and lo
there IS something I can comment on.

The Norwegian Blue is a remarkable bird.  Beautiful plumage!  Though
they do like to lie around on their backs a bit, and seem to spend
their time either resting, or pining for the fjords.  Yes lovely
plumage, indeed!

Google the remarkable Norwegian Blue Parrot and you'll fall in love as
I did so long ago :)
