Well, Bill Mill and I simultaneously and independently decided to write
a preprocessor to strip out the unfortunate "@" decorator syntax. I

one, but as time fades it seems less clear what we were simultaneously
inspired to achie
Yes, I definitely should have done that for that case. I'm not
entirely sure why I didn't. If I had, though, I may not have been
prompted to ask the question and get all the other great little
tidbits!

different ways with the addition of some other useful tidbits!

Ah... sorry about that. I should have checked my example more closely.
What I'm actually doing is rebinding some Queue.Queue behaviour in a
