style 3:
def myMethod(args)(staticmethod):
    blah, blah, blah

style 4:
def staticmethod(myMethod(args)):
    blah, blah, blah

BTW, what would happen if a modifier is applied that doesn't return
a callable (like def foo(args)(str):)? Would it raise an exception or
bind a string to 'foo', ignoring the contents of the 'def' declaration?

> but i have to vote -1 on style one, +1 on style 2, +0 keeping it the way it

style 1: -1
style 2: +0
style 3: +1
style 4: +0
for me

yours,
Gerrit.
