Why I've personally stopped using it: I've always had the impression
that decorators were intended to provide a convenient and obvious way
of augmenting functions. Having one that automatically executes the
function at definition just runs counter to the behaviour I expect
from a decorator. Especially when direct assignment... foo = foo
() ...is a far more direct and clear way of expressing exactly what is
happening.
if you have to define it yourself, you could call it store_result or
something else instead of apply.
@store_result
def tags():
return result
