    Converts a view function decorator into a method decorator.
    the special thing about view decorators is that they expect 
    'request' to be their first argument.
    Example:

        class MyView(View):
            allowed_methods = ['GET','POST'],

            @method_decorator(login_required)
            def POST(*arg, **kwargs):
