Just a question, when "as" become a keyword in Python 3, can we expect a new syntax using that keyword instead (or additionally)? There's multiple possible syntaxes using "as", even replacing simply @ by "as" would be an improvement IMHO, since that would be english-readable (as static method define foo), like most of Python.

Not IMO, that would just add more mystery (and would require yet another hack in classmethod to allow it to be called without args).
