Are decorators really that different from metaclasses...

I'm not sure what you are driving at here, but ...

Aa a practical matter, wouldn't it be nice to be able to use string
substitution on a docstring placed in its usual location under def
foo().

That I need to place my __doc__ under the function can't be considered
a good thing, or intutive thing.

Sort of like having to do transformations after and under the function
;)
