I sure hope not :-) [*]. I just happened to dumb enough to volunteer a 
use-case for decorators in the last round of discussions, and somehow 
this got misunderstood :-(

I do believe decorators are generally useful, as shown by various 
examples shown on python-dev. The also happen to make live easier for 
users of PyObjC.
