I agree with Gareth on both of his main points: I didn't buy Guido's
rejection of list-after-def (and so argued against his points in
another thread here); but the decorator suite before the def (J2) is
quite nice also, and it doesn't hide the def when there are lots of
decorators (due to the indentation). I would strongly support either
proposal over the current @decorators.
