The visual effect of | when initially proposed looked surprisingly nice to me given its 'diagrammatic' appearance of drawing a graph between the decoration lines and the function definition. So FWIW, I'd say that I personally kind of like it.

I too like |. It is not quite as visible as @, but I don't think that's a serious problem, and not breaking ipython and other tools is a big win. I just tried implementing this change, and all the tests still pass (not a big surprise, but worth confirming I guess).
