I like the idea of using a decorator because it's familiar syntax and we all
already (think we) know what it means.  However, in this case, wouldn't

    @recordbinding
    x = obj

translate to

    x = obj
    recordbinding(x)

?

The way you've written it, obj must be a type that implements the
recordbinding method, but that's not what I'd expect.
