I've got some decorators that work fine as such:

However, I used that sequence quite a bit, so I figured I could do
something like

   dec_all = dec1(args1)(dec2(args2)(dec3(args3)))

to consolidate the whole mess down to

   @dec_all
   def myfun(...):
     pass

However, this yields different (test-breaking) results.  Messing
around, I found that if I write it as

   dec_all = lambda fn: dec1(args1)(dec2(args2)(dec3(args3)(fn)))

it works and passes all preexisting tests.

What am I missing that would cause this difference in behavior?

If you apply the stacked decorators you get:

    myfun = dec1(args1)(dec2(args2)(dec3(args3)(myfun)))

If you apply dec_all you get:

    myfun = dec1(args1)(dec2(args2)(dec3(args3)))(myfun)

See the difference? You need the lambda to fix that.
