Strangely enough, exactly the opposite argument is now being used to prevent syntaxes such as:

def func (args): @decorator as was used then to allow: def func (args): yield value

It's not quite the same argument, because 'yield' can appear anywhere inside the body, buried arbitrarily deeply. Decorators would only appear at the beginning.
