There's also this  post from Guido a few years back in python-dev, which
does something similar using metaclasses:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-January/076194.html

I'm not sure it does exactly the same, but it is also an interesting
approach. (Although I like the decorator syntax more.) The discussion that
follows in that thread may also be of interest for this discussion.
