I'll point out that current discussion on that merge thread is favoring
a different idea altogether: restrict decorators to only those that "do
not mess with the conceptual interface of a function."  Mark provides
two examples of decorators which would not fit that restriction, and
Naveed objects to one of them because he feels that validation of input
arguments is a legitimate use of decorators.
