Any pointers to info on other plans for with?
suggestions: declare

declare classmethod
declare returns(int)
def func(*args, **kwds):
     return 1

Other ideas would be "decorate", but this doesn't really seem to make 
sense (perhaps suggesting that decorators isn't the best name for them 
:-)) or "wrap" (because they literally wrap the function, but again that 
doesn't seem intuitive.
