There are two slides in my EuroPython keynote

(http://www.python.org/doc/essays/ppt/euro2004/euro2004.pdf)

(pages 10 and 11) that mention it.

It was discussion during and after this keynote that made me change my
mind -- first I accepted that [deco] before def was unacceptable, then
I found that @deco was not universally hated (Fredrik Lundh even liked
it).
