To quote from your page:
"I thought that all MyHDL generators had to have a decorator."

This is wrong, and I went back to the manual to check what it
says. I think it is quite clear. It states explicitly that the
basic MyHDL elements are generators. Decorators are just a (very
convenient) way to create them for a number of common cases.

Once again, I think the confusion comes from a basic
misunderstanding: the difference between general modeling and
conversion/synthesis. However, the manual is explicit about
this in the chapter about conversion. I quote:

"""
For pure modeling, it doesn’t matter how generators are created.
However, in convertible code they should be created using one
of the MyHDL decorators: instance(), always() or always_comb().
"""
