So I spent a little time futzing with python-mode and some of my decorator code, to try some alternative leading characters. Of the ones that cannot be used in valid Python code today (i.e. no backward compatibility issues), I tried ':', '/', '=', '*', and '|'.
If the community can rally behind one of these, I think that would be acceptable. They all seem arbitrary, but so is the choice of '@'. :-)
