IMO, the most common uses of decorators will be to define properties, and class and static methods. IMO, these uses would be better served by a simpler syntax:
def classmethod foo(cls, ...): ...
This simplified syntax only allows names to specify decorators. It could allow multiple names, although I'm not sure it should,
I find this far more readable and obvious than any of the other syntaxs I've seen propsed.
Those applications that need decorator arguments could use the more complex pie-shaped notation.
