Aha! These are good news!!
I like the current proposal better than the list syntax (too many parens 
and commas) *except* for the "@". The "@" is terrible! But fortunately
we have plenty of alternative punctuation to choose upon: the colon,
the dot, the "|", even the caret, the tilde, etc. All stuff which is
already in current Python. At the moment I like this:

- sincronyzed
- classmethod
def f(cls, *args):
   pass
