I guess I still don't really understand what he's getting at or what the value of @callmeta is in that example. It just seems like extra noise with no value to me...
Ron: what *precisely* does the @callmeta decorator do? If you can express it in code, so much the better.

We're discussing the alternative of
>>> def f(a:int, b):
which is better for some things -- but much worse for others; if the
metadata is any longer than int, it is almost certainly worse. So (I
believe) he is suggesting that we just reuse decorator syntax
>>> @sig(a=int)
... def f(a, b):
