I would prefer using a comment, as I first suggested, to adding code as 
well.
But if the only way this got implemented is by adding code I'd like that 
method to
have no effect at runtime. Having functions that are never called would 
work.

I wonder is it would be possible to add to python a builtin that passed 
info to
analyzers? That way the AST would have the info in its tree and the python
compiler could ignore the construct.
