If the syntax does end up along these lines (and I'm expressing no opinion either way), then maybe it would be worth explicitly telling people (i.e. in PEP 8) that they ought to put a blank line before decorators to make it clear?

Does PEP 8 tell people that they should put a blank before comment lines introducing a function?

Same deal for "don't do '@this @andthis @onthesameline'" (unless that loses it's validity).

In PEP 8, maybe, but not the Ref Manual (unless grammatically prohibited). While uglier, this form does not stike me as being wholely different from the quasilist proposals that would spell the above [this, and_this, on_the_same_line].
