So you're trying to add property-like attributes to functions?  That is, 
you want something like:

@my_decorator
def f(...):
     ...

f.foo # calls f._get_foo()

So you only want one decorator?  Doesn't that mean that all functions 
will have the same attributes?  But if that were true you would only 
need one descriptor for all controller functions, so I must not be 
understanding that right.

Can you give a little more realistic code sample?  I'm still not sure 
what it is you really want to do.  Don't worry about showing the 
implementation you're thinking of.  Just show me how you want to use 
these things and what it ought to look like.
