Simple Function Decorator Sample Snippet

Show all headers | View raw

hi folks, I've come up with a simple snippet that intends to explain the 
concept of decorations without an article (for on app help), while being 
succinct and concise, while not being overly complicated.

Does this work?   I have another one coming for args, similar, if this 
works...  comments appreciated.  thanks.
