What about playing with the words decorator/decoration? The allegoric
meaning of the decorator
def deco(f):
pass
would be: f is "vanishing under decoration" - all is vanity.
In the example deco would be both a decorator and a decoration. In
other cases deco were a decorator and deco(x,y) the decoration.
