OK, here's my stab at it: python.org/sf/979728

It's fairly minimal - I guess the biggest impact change is that funcdef
is now defined in Grammar/Grammer as:

     decorator: '@' test [NEWLINE]
     decorators: decorator+
     funcdef: [decorators] 'def' NAME parameters ':' suite

As this version of funcdef has an optional element at the beginning, I
changed the funcdef child node references (in compile.c and
parsermodule.c) to use a new macro RCHILD() which takes a negative index
and treats it as relative to the end of the node's children array.
