decorator for decorators with optional args
Have you ever wanted a decorator that you could apply either straight-out: @mydec def myfun(...): ... or with special arguments: @mydec(special=foo) def myfun(...): ... ? Well, decorate it with this metadecorator, and voila. (I had this idea independently, but it's been done before as decorator_withargs: http://osdir.com/ml/python.ideas/2008-01/msg00048.html. My version is actually useful because it deals with signatures and calling directly.) As http://www.siafoo.net/article/68 points out, the standard decorator module has too much magic: the "@decorator" decorator expects a wrapping function, not a working decorator. This module fixes that.
