Same here. Also, the fact that it looks like a list makes the definition 
quite easy in terms of a list.

  def foo(self) [a, b, c]:
      ...

This evaluates to

  def foo(self):
      ...
  for modifier in [a, b, c]:
      foo = modifier(foo)

(With the exception that the initial 'foo' and 'modifier' variables are 
not exposed.)
