It's the other way around.

The proposal (arguably) makes the code clearer but does not impact 
performance (and is a syntax error today, so does not break existing code).

The suggestions (decorators etc) make the code (arguably) clearer today 
without a syntax change, but impact performance.

So, those who think the decorators make for clearer code have to choose 
between source code clarity and performance.
