This is exploring a pattern for a stateful class. An alternative idea would be to actually dispatch on a "state" object every time (making the dispatching a real multiple dispatching, I guess).
This is conceptually:
The once dipatching is a normal dispatching function, just a different decorator because the default is to do nothing (and not to call the function).
