+ Guido proposed and implementated a patch to support interpretation of
+ a `list of decorators`_ as a prefix to function definitions ::

+         pass

+ This appears to be his current favorite, but negative sentiment runs
+ high, mostly because that syntax, though useless except for side
+ effects of the list, is already legal and thus creates a special case.
