To me, 'predef' seems to shout "Look, I'm telling you something about the 'def' that you are about to encounter in a line or two."

This is too much repetition to please programmers ;) They like to write things ONCE. This is exactly the reason why all this decorator hell raised:

def X: ... X = decor(X)

uses X three times...

Ah well, guess I'll go back to being a lurker on the deco issue. . . >Cheers, Nick. > Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
