  # No. This code:
  @decorate
  def foo(self):
    frobnicate()

  #is exactly equivalent to:
  def foo(self):
    frobnicate()
  foo = decorate(foo)

Yeah, but that's really clunky when you want to do

    @this
    @that
    @the_other
    def foo(self):
        frobnicate()

This is what Java people call "aspect oriented programming" and get all excited about, but to us it's no big deal :-)
