Reading the "definitive explanation of descriptors" took me longer than 
expected..  I am as overly optimistic as any programming person..   ;)

Can you inspire me with a good decorator problem (standard homework 
exercise-level will be fine)?  Otherwise  I will go create one which 
will prints a row of asterisks before and after the call to the original 
function (which I think I should do). But maybe you have something more 
interesting? Or maybe you can refer me to a good source of Python 
problems, so I can bug you less?
