I assume it inherits from something in a nice way, but I could imagine this to be annoying. Other decorators, at least at one time, made command-line introspection not that useful, if I recall correctly. But that might be irrelevant here. I don't really have a horse in the running here, but it is a nice opportunity for the community to think about its relation to downstream projects, of which there are now several. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
