attribute decorators

[gert]

Would it not be nice if you could assign decorators to attributes too ?
for example

class C:
@staticattribut e
data='hello'

or

class C:
@privateattribu te
data='hello'

You can. You just have to write it as:

class C:
data = staticattribute ('hello')

(Of course, writing the staticattribute function is a non-trivial problem.)

or

data='hello'

That would be written as

class C:
_data = 'hello'

or possibly

class C:
__data = 'hello'

depending on whether you want private attributes to be by convention or by
name-mangling.
