I've been using Python for oover 10 years and still find decorators
hard to get my head around! :-)

I confess I'm not a fan, they go against the Python spirit of
explicit is best in my opinion. If I'm calling a function I like to
know I'm calling a function... I know they make the code look
pretty but IMHO they are a pain to debug and I'm never totally
convinced I've got it exactly right.
