A Taxonomy of Decorators: A-E
summary
Covers a concrete taxonomy: argument-changing decorators (example: click options change a function signature), return-value decorators (TurboGears expose → JSON), binding/descriptor decorators (SQLAlchemy hybrid_property and a true-instance-method example), control-flow decorators (retry, LRU cache/memoization, even an infinite-retry demo), descriptive decorators (pytest marks, Flask app.route registration) and execution-level transforms (Numba-style source rewrite), with code patterns, pitfalls, and small runnable examples. Watch if needing practical rules and tradeoffs.
