Slight improvement (untested):

/**
 * Decorates a function with code to be executed before and/or after
 * it is called.
 * 
 * @param {Object|Function} obj
 * @param {String|Null|Undefined} propName
 * @param {Function} before
 *   Code to be executed before the original function.  Called with
 *   the same <code>this</code> value and arguments as the original
 *   function.
 * @param {Function} after (optional)
 *   Code to be executed after the original function.  Called with
 *   the same <code>this</code> value as the original function.
 *   The arguments lists consists of the return value of the
 *   original function followed by its argument list.
 * @return {Function} Decorated function
 */
function decorate (obj, propName, before, after)
{
  var original = (propName == null ? obj : obj[propName]);
 
  if (typeof original != "function")
  {
    throw new TypeError(
      "decorate: obj[propName] or obj must refer to a function");
  }
 
  var decorated = function () {
    if (typeof before == "function")
    {
      before.apply(this, arguments);
    }

    var result = original.apply(this, arguments);

    if (typeof after == "function")
    {
      after.apply(this, [result].concat([].slice.call(arguments)));
    }
  };
 
  if (propName != null)
  {
    obj[propName] = decorated;
  }
 
  return decorated;
}

/*

myFunction = decorate(myFunction, null, function () {
