I'm actually pretty neutral on restricted decorators vs @expression. But @lambda(func): body def func(...): ... is (I think) much more likely to be an abuse of language than the Pythonic way of writing something, so I don't see a lot of harm in preventing it.

And, as someone pointed out, lifting a restriction is a heck of a lot easier than imposing one later on (even after only 1 alpha). YouAintGonnaNeedIt and all that. . .
