Indeed. Luckily, since I was able to channel those words from the
depths of Guido's bottomless mind, I can also channel what beauty and
readability mean.

There's quite a peculiar split over that. I find the @ gimmick most
readable of all, and especially because it forces one decoration per
physical line. list-after-def looks like a train wreck piling up
after the arglist half the time. But @ looks like a friendly little
womb, with a happy little birth canal, out of which is born a single
pure expression. What's more beautiful than the miracle of birth?
Certainly not a train wreck.
