[issue4793] Glossary incorrectly describes a decorator as "merely syntactic sugar"

[Benjamin Peterson]

Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org> added the comment:

It is possible to "desugar" the exact behavior by creating the function
ones self.

Regardless, the usefulness this behavior is limited because it relys on
the decorator being in the same module as the function. It is also
fragile for nested functions.
