Syntax option J2 from the wiki seems to have provoked an interesting discussion[1] at least by a small subset of c.l.p, so I wondered how difficult it would be to implement - this turned out to be relatively simple [2].

My only problem with this syntax is that I expect the common cases (mine, anyway) to be zero or one decorators per function, so the extra block and indent seems a bit excessive compared to the current @prefix-symbol-decorator proposal(s). It is, of course, far better than typing the function name three times though! :)
