I recall that the limitation on decorator syntax was deliberate, because 
people weren't sure how confusing it would be to allow arbitrary 
expressions.

I think that it might be time to extend the allowed syntax a bit. I 
think it is perfectly reasonable to allow:

>     @M(b).decorator()
>     def wrapped_func():
>         pass

as syntax.
