Ability to specify decorators for generic views

[eugene@…]

At present time the only way to specify view decorators (e.g., conditional caching) for generic views is to wrap them in custom views. It would be desirable to have a shortcut for that.

[hugo]

you can just do normal assignments (the Python 2.3 syntax for decorators):

from django.views.generic.list_detail import object_detail

modified_object_detail = vary_on_cookie(object_detail)

So you don't need to do any custom view, you just call the decorator on the generic one. Ok, you have to put that into some module somewhere, but views.py is as good a place for that as any other file ;-)

That's what I finally did. And copied-and-pasted in all apps.
