Although I'm not sure it was implemented this way, I
believe there may be an intent to support the usual
sort of one-line version as this (using an alternate
keyword instead of "decorate" which now seems doomed):

     using: staticmethod
     def foo(bar, baz):
         pass

That makes it no extra lines, but still explicit and Pythonic
in nature.

(Michael, was that how you implemented the latest?)
