How is this different from:
def synchronized(lock):
def synch_fn(block):
lock.acquire()
try:
block()
finally:
lock.release()
return synch_fn
@synchronized
def foo():
BLOCK
True, it's non-obvious that foo is being immediately executed, but
regardless I like the way synchronized is defined, and doesn't use
yield (which in my opinion is a non-obvious solution)
