[Python-ideas] Decorator syntax

[ilya]

I would say here are two more things to consider:

(1) How to colorize expression @a or b and c? My IDE colorizes only @a
as decorator

(2) How to search for all functions that have been applied decorator
`b` (*not* either `a` or `b`)?

(bonus) How to test expression of the above form? By definition, you
will have only *one* function decorated like that. To test it, you
should define it as a separate function anyway.

ilya.
