How about something like this? It's closer to the current usage:

class Class
	def method_added m
		if @decorator
			send(@decorator, m)
		end
		@decorator = nil
	end
	
	def priv
		@decorator = :private
	end
end

class C
	priv; def a() puts "private" end
	def b() puts "public" end
end

c = C.new
c.b
c.a
