Raymond Hettinger <python at rcn.com>:
A failing common to all of the proposals is that they turn action words (like classmethod) into adjectives with implicit actions.
Action words? I would have said "classmethod" is a noun, and as such it's a perfectly good name for a decorator.
The fact that an action occurs at function definition time is an implementation detail.
