I don't care about the deprecation either way. But can we fix the individual decorators so both orders work? Even if it requires a special case in the code, it seems worthwhile to remove a subtle user-visible footgun.

The classmethod and staticmethod objects already have a getter for isabstractmethod that forwards to the underlying object, so they should just need a setter as well, right?

I also have no strong opinion about deprecation. But fixing this seems pretty straightforward and may be a good task for someone's first C contribution?

Cheers, Steve
