To expand on this a bit, I strongly believe that the use of a decorator
should make the job of the programmer easier, rather than requiring the
programmer to provide enough information to make the writing of the
decorator itself easier.  Python is incredibly easy to introspect.  We
should leverage that to make PyQt more like Python.
