True, and this can become a problem when those dozens have no comprehension of how these features work. But fortunately, all it takes is for one person to step up and learn how decorators are written, and the problem is solved. (And it's not that hard. We teach decorator authorship in our Web Programming In Python course. Not in a huge amount of detail, but enough that a student will be able to carefully tease apart the code of a decorator function and figure out what it's actually doing.)
