Is anybody seriously trying to come up with a single alternative decorator proposal that most folks "out there" can support, to be presented to me (with implementation, please!) in time for 2.4b1?

I'm afraid that absolutely zero consensus is emerging :( I've withdrawn myself entirely from the discussions as they've proven completely useless.

Last time I saw behaviour like this was PEP 308. Hmm - PEP 308 - controversial syntax. PEP 318 - controversial syntax. PEP 328 - somewhat controversial syntax (I still don't overly like it).

Anyone want to guess what PEP 338 will be like? ;)
