I suppose so, but a generic function attribute decorator would do just as well. IOW, it doesn't have to be "rstdirective", just "attributes" would do fine.

I like rst_directive(), because it's more specific -- it would catch mistakes earlier. E.g. if you misspelled argumnets, attributes() would have no clue about it; but rst_directive() should have specific keywords.
