Now, it's true that this will just become '@when("whatever")' in 2.4, and I'm *fine* with that, just disappointed that the syntax won't be forward compatible.
Implementability in 2.2 and 2.3 was never on the list of requirements for decorators. You're adding this constraint yourself. I know it was brought up before but I never agreed with that constraint (and the previous community favorite, [...]-after-args, wasn't compatible either). I presume your framework is already full of hacks, which is fine by me, but I don't want to use it as a deciding factor for the decorator syntax. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
