In the constructor of the module builder (and probably with an 
appropriate "configuration method", but such a thing is still missing in 
the experimental module).

Decorating the declarations is done using the corresponding methods in 
the decl_wrappers.

Well, yes, the unit tests are quite impressive and already a sign of the 
quality of the software, but: the unit tests can only test an 
implementation, but not the "usability" or how intuitive an interface is.

Oh, I wasn't aware there has been a revolution... :)

Well, it's for experimenting (and sharing that)... ;-)
