I had considered the word 'using' instead of 'as'.  Someone else in this 
thread also suggested that.  Then the the following def:

    def foo(self) using classmethod, synchronized(lock):
        blah, blah, blah

reads as:

    "Define [a function] foo using [the behaviors of] classmethod and 
synchronized"
