I've seen that transformation before ;-)

I'd be interested if someone with 2.4 would do the following (untested):

def A(f): return f
def B(f): return f

def foo():
    @A
    @B
    def bar(): pass
    return bar

def baz():
    def bar(): pass
    return A(B(bar)

import dis
dis.dis(foo)
dis.dis(baz)
