How is that an abuse of the decorator syntax?

How is your @return syntax more clear in its intent than:

   from decorator import decorator

   @decorator
   def a_decorator(...):
      ....

Is returning a function from within another function - outside of
decorators - that recurring a task that we need new syntax that not
only overloads existing syntax for a different use, but also disrupts
the readability of a function?
