Plus he's a softie for decorators, as am I.

I must admit that while I still like decorators, I do like them as much as in the past. I also see an overuse of decorators in various libraries for things that could be done more clearly without them ;-( But this is tangential. What I would really like to know is the future of PEP 362, i.e. having a signature object that could be taken from an undecorated function and added to the decorated function. I do not recall people having anything against it, in principle, and there is also an implementation in the sandbox, but after three years nothing happened. I guess this is just not a high priority for the core developers.
