With @, a third party tool has an unambiguous indication of whether a line is a decorator. With |, it is not possible to recognize decorators with a regular expression, instead you have to do some context-free parsing to determine whether some previous line has an unclosed paren (in which case the | is a binop rather than a decorator).

@decorator #"

""" @decorator """
