We've been discussing this off and on for OVER A YEAR! If 'the best syntax' hasn't been figured out yet after N thousand emails on the subject, I see no reason to believe enlightenment is going to arrive soon (or ever).
There's no particular reason to believe that effort alone will arrive at an elegant solution. On the other hand, maybe there isn't a good syntax for arbitrary decorators.
