I haven't had a chance to play with decorators, but I'll give
it a try. In any case, I don't need a fancy way.
The simpler, the better.

I implemented a function in several ways(using recursion,
lambda, etc) and benchmarked them. In that script, I needed
to display function names, along with ellapsed time.

I was doing something like:

for func in (func1, func2, func3):
     print func.func_name
     print measure_ellapsed_time(func)

and get hit by lambda!
