Monkeypatching idioms - elegant or ugly? Guido offers a decorator and a metaclass as syntactic sugar for monkeypatching existing Python classes.

Incidentally, I have a slightly fancier version of this in magicset (though frankly I've never used it, I just wrote it to be clever).

This is really weird. I always thought meta-classes have to be classes themselves (typically a class which sub-classes 'type'). But Guido's meta-class (monkeypatch_class) is a function?
