class: (and other something: constructs) start a block that can contain 
any code.  Does this decorate keyword allow e.g. assignments as well as 
defs and other decorates?  Or loops?  If so what should it mean?  Is it 
like that locals() gets replaced by a special dictionary-like-object 
that calls the decorator whenever any of its contents gets set?
