If you name the decos decorator1, etc, not really ambigous, mearly hard to find the foo in the soup. But try

def bar(baz(foo))(a1,aN): pass

and it becomes easily ambigous. Anyway, by current Python syntax, decoN(foo) look like a function call on an existing object foo. The current situation is that name(arg) is always a func call except when name immediately follows def. Like Tim, I really don't want that to change.
