I just looked at that discussion, and I didn't see any
argument to refute the thesis that if decorators-on-top
is good enough for functions, it should be good enough
for classes.

In fact it seems to have been written before the on-top
decorator syntax existed, so there's no discussion of
the issue at all.

Seems to me that, since we now already have @-decorators
for functions, a *very* good reason will be needed for
requiring a completely different syntax to get exactly
the same effect for classes.
