ju-bezdek/langchain-decoratorsMain principles and benefits:more pythonic way of writing codewrite multiline prompts that won't break your code flow with indentationmaking use of IDE in-built support for hinting, type checking and popup with docs to quickly peek in the function to see the prompt, parameters it consumes etc.leverage all the power of 🦜🔗 LangChain ecosystemadding support for optional parameterseasily share parameters between the prompts by binding them to one classHere is a simple example of a code written with LangChain Decorators ✨@llm_promptdef write_me_short_post(topic:str, platform:str="twitter", audience:str = "developers")->str:    """    Write me a short header for my post about {topic} for {platform} platform.

Instead of running it Standard LLMchain takes much more init parameter than just inputs_variables and prompt... here is this implementation detail hidden in the decorator.
Here is how it works:Using Global settings:# define global settings for all prompty (if not set - chatGPT is the current default)from langchain_decorators import GlobalSettingsGlobalSettings.define_settings(    default_llm=ChatOpenAI(temperature=0.0), this is default... can change it here globally    default_streaming_llm=ChatOpenAI(temperature=0.0,streaming=True), this is default... can change it here for all ... will be used for streaming)Using predefined prompt types#You can change the default prompt typesfrom langchain_decorators import PromptTypes, PromptTypeSettingsPromptTypes.AGENT_REASONING.llm = ChatOpenAI()# Or you can just define your own ones:class MyCustomPromptTypes(PromptTypes):    GPT4=PromptTypeSettings(llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4"))@llm_prompt(prompt_type=MyCustomPromptTypes.GPT4) def write_a_complicated_code(app_idea:str)->str:    ...Define the settings directly in the decoratorfrom langchain.llms import OpenAI@llm_prompt(    llm=OpenAI(temperature=0.7),    stop_tokens=["\nObservation"],    ...    )def creative_writer(book_title:str)->str:    ...Passing a memory and/or callbacks:​To pass any of these, just declare them in the function (or use kwargs to pass anything)@llm_prompt()async def write_me_short_post(topic:str, platform:str="twitter", memory:SimpleMemory = None):    """    {history_key}    Write me a short header for my post about {topic} for {platform} platform.
