I kinda dislike this approach. Why should one add 5 lines of code when
(which has to be interpreted at runtime) when it's so much simpler to
just write:

# publush
def myfunc(request):
   ...

instead?  This eat's much less CPU time.



Morale: because something is "geek" or "hula-hoop", you don't have to use
it.
