Well, you could even do:

class A:
     def foo(): pass
     bar = foo()
     staticmethod(foo)

But it's a bit sad to have a special syntax for decorators then.  It's a 
usability problem, nothing to do with functionality.  There's obvious 
workarounds, but IMHO any user saying "it should just work" is at least 
partly right.
