[PEAK] DecoratorTools will not run with python -OO

[Christopher Stelma]

Certainly anything external that uses template_function() will still
not work, and in that case a warning would appropriate, but I see no
reason why that should preclude the remainder of DecoratorTools from
working under -OO.

For example, the call to synchronized() in
http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/2426 would have succeeded if it's
internal wrap() had a manually assigned __doc__.
