Sorry...I was really tired last night when I wrote this, so it may have come out meaner than I intended. The credits to the file say that the original implementation was inspired by conversations with Justin, which may not be the same as Justin actually writing the code. Again, I think JM's approach has some advantages over the current decorator in Sage, though, as the current decorator doesn't replace the function if it is a constant function; instead, it looks up the arguments (None, None) every single time. Maybe it would be nice to have a special case in the cached decorator or another @cachedconstantfunc or something.
