If a "function state decorator" approach is used, then yeah, I agree it should come immediately before the main part of the function header.
Yes, it seems to be a necessary requirement.
However, I'm not seeing a lot to recommend that kind of syntax over the post-arguments '[]' approach.
IMHO @(...) has two advantages over '[]' approach: 1. It keeps all that 'additional scope'-stuff in a separate line, making the code probably more clear visualy, and not making the crowd of elements in the '...):' line even more dense (especially if we did use annotations, e.g.: '...) -> "my annotation":'). 2. It is more consistent with the existing syntax (not introducing '='-based syntax within []; [] are already used for two different things: list literals and item lookup -- both somehow leading your thoughts to sequence/container-related stuff).
