[Python-ideas] Re: PEP 671: Syntax for late-bound function argument defaults -- choice of -> vs @

One similarity that I don't think has been mentioned yet: - decorator syntax says, "run me later, after this function is built" - late-bound argument syntax says, "run me later, just before each function call" Because both mean "run me later" we can leverage the @ symbol to aid understanding; also, because "run me later" can completely change the workings of a function (mutable defaults, anyone?), it deserves more attention than being buried in the middle of the expression where it is easy to miss (which is why I originally proposed the ? -- it stood out better). -- ~Ethan~
