Not every method is a property accessor. The metaclass does calculate a default signature (all arguments are objects and the result is an object) when it doesn't have better information (such as the signature of a method with the same name in a superclass). Sorry I wasn't clearer. What I meant was if we have a nice syntax for setting function attributes then the metaclass to transform the functions just like a decorator could.

And how would that solve this: <http://www.eby-sarna.com/pipermail/peak/2004-July/001598.html>
