But is it really wise to add the special syntax required to make your
work easier (or possible) by overloading a currently perfectly valid
(if non-sensical) statement? It's one thing that you really, really
want a better decorator syntax; it's another thing completely that the
new syntax is an overloaded and restricted list. That's just plain
wrong for many reasons argued earlier.
