This sounds like aspect-oriented programming,
and as such suffers from the rather severe problem of
aspect-oriented programming,
which is that what you see is not what runs.
How can you have any confidence in your code if it
might be taken over and do who knows what?

Sounds like a case for parse_transform, anyway.
