Yeah, I agree about class decorators being a good substitute. The big
difference with class decorators is that they don't apply to
subclasses, so you have to keep applying them in each subclass.

For maximum confusion, maybe metaclasses could apply class decorators,
and class decorators might be made to depend on code built by the
metaclasses.

I like writing articles and exploring these wacky corners, but when it
comes to write, I try to keep my stuff as stupid as possible. All the
dynamic tomfoolery is awesome when it works, but it is hellish to
debug.

Matt,

Hey did you think of using class decorators instead of metaclasses? I think you can do all that with class decorations, and probably easier to understand.
