 Decoration of the west wall by DELACROIX, Eugène
By a decree dated 31 August, 1833, Delacroix was commissioned to undertake his first state decoration, that of the Salon du Roi or Throne Room of the Palais Bourbon.
The essence of decorative painting is unity with the architectural framework that it invests.
This allowed him to imitate the mat surface of fresco and protect the colours from the effects of damp; it also made it possible to retouch his work, which the use of distemper would have ruled out.

Whitman claimed that if Moore can choose to promote his religion of choice in a state building controlled by him, and we allow it by law, then anyone in a similar position could do the same.
It is the responsibility of the government to uphold, remember and remind people of the foundations which shaped this great country of America, including its religious ones.
But since it is new, and rather odd in its choice for state property decoration (see commentary on religion's role today), the monument is abhored.

 Bug ID: 6345004 Add class decoration keyword   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
At the present time, if you want to decorate Component with some additional behavior or information, you must create an interface (that you probably don't want to support in other use cases) with every method in Component and then invoke each method from the decorator class.
A very limited way of creating decorators could be added to the language to potentially great effect and without any of the drawbacks associated with multiple inheritance: class Component { } class SecureComponent decorates Component { } SecureComponent may not extend another class and may not specify a constructor.
The Component instance passed in to the default constructor created by the compiler (SecureComponent may only be invoked by new SecureComponent(Component)) is automatically delegated to through a synthetic internal interface known only to the VM and available through super (as if Component were the superclass, which is also reflected in the type of SecureComponent).
