I'm with you on this point. The "def name [...] (args...):" syntax is probably bearable for one decorator, but seems intolerable for the case of multiple decorators. While the single-decorator case will likely be the most common, I think multiple decorators won't be so unusual that they should be severely burdened with cumbersome syntax.
