What about other decoration operations (such as assigning call policies, 
assigning a doc string, etc.)?
Why isn't the existing interface used? The user could obtain a handle to 
a "clone" of the original declaration (either returned by 
add_transformation() or maybe even by a dedicated clone() method) that 
provides the same interface as the regular declarations. Then the user 
could do to the clone whatever he could do to every other declaration 
using an interface that he knows already.
