Ah Jeeze :-) Are you really, truly saying that you want to introduce @ to help people format their declarations? This just seems like complete nonsense to me.

Yes, this whole thing is deeply about readability. It started with the observation that the post-function-body decorator "syntax" had usability / readability issues. A lot of Python is about that.
