As to the ability to do multiple types registration, you could support
it only in type annotations, e.g.:

    @func.register
    def doit(foo: [int, float]):

Initially I thought so, too. But it seems other people might think this
means "a sequence with the first element being an integer, and the second
a float". The BDFL seems to have yet a different idea:

This is clearly material for a separate PEP, wink wink, nudge nudge.

To the point though. Based on this, and the fact PEP 8 currently disallows
annotations within the standard library, I came to the conclusion that
currently we should not include the annotation-driven form.

I generally lean towards returning the undecorated function, so that if you say:

    @func.register
    def do_int(foo: int):
        ...

Me too. The PEP has been updated to specify that explicitly.

So with this decision made, are there any open issues left?  Or can we invite 
Guido back to the discussion?  ;)
