Then it has a potentially-confusing interaction with decorators like Flask's app.route(), which return the original function unchanged, but also save a reference to it elsewhere. The order of decoration determines the effect of the @hettinger decorator; there will be two functions around which are almost, but not entirely, identical, and it'd be very easy to not notice that you decorated in the wrong order.
