Decorators, the way things are now, will IMHO actively entice people to
abuse code.
A flawed analogy is computed goto's.  We all know by now that 'goto' is evil
;-) but computed goto's (albeit made code flow 'more powerful')
only worsened reading the  spaghetti code which results in the usage of
goto's.

Dunno anything about C# but Java decorators are not that 'dynamic'. And IMHO
this is a good thing in this case.
