Is there a concensus on the order of application for decorators?

I think people will accept either; the question is what counts as "first".

In name = a(b(c(name)))

Is a first because it appears (and is resolved) first, or is c first because it is applied first?

This also interacts with whether the decorators are before or after the function name, and with whether we're modelling

name = a(name)
name = b(name)
name = c(name)

or

name = a(b(c(name)))
