After writing this list, I thought about something which is close to the current implementation, but avoids @. If it was already suggested, please forgive me. At least I wasn't able to find it in the PEP/Wiki:
<static> def method(foo): pass
This is discussed in the PEP:
The '<...>' alternative presents parsing problems because '<' and '>' already parse as un-paired. They present a further parsing ambiguity because a right angle bracket might be a greater than symbol instead of a closer for the decorators.
Gotcha! Thanks for pointing me this. -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net
