Yes, I realize that this syntax isn't new (I believe that it was even
used in an example in my original PEP). I hadn't actually read Wiki
before, but the only minus that I really see for this syntax is that
you can't have arguments to the decorators. I guess I just find the
"public final synchronized void foo()" less monstrous than
@public
@final
@synchronized
@void
def foo()
