Heh. Tell me, when did strings get methods? :-)
IIRC, ~2.0? I'm cognizant of the shift happening from the string
module to string methods, but I wouldn't expect deep history
knowledge--last I checked, RedHat still supports a RHEL version that
ships with 2.4, so that's about as far back as I'd probe these days
(so I'd drop the decorators question now). Certainly not a
deal-breaker either way. Just more data points.

Why would you want to hire someone that knows something pointless as the
version where feature X has been introduced ? Just tell him that feature
X has been introducted in version Y, costless 2.5sec training. Don't you
want to hire someone that knows things you don't and benefit from each
others abilities, learning from each others, improving the company
global skill range ?
