So I sent this a bit prematurely and meant to say here that this
decorator in addition to doing V2 type input validation would also
transform the incoming data into the form the V3 expects. And
also filtering out the junk that the strong input validation of v3 would
reject. 

On the way out it could transform success return codes (ick! But it
might cover all cases) to keep backwards compatibility.

Yea, its really ugly but its way better than trying to get v2 and v3
or v3 improvements to co-exist in the same place.
