I've been looking at how complex decorators can get and wondered what you are actually highlighting as a decorator. Just the '@deco'? The line that starts with '@' or a whole expression.

It's damn simple: on a line where the first non-whitespace character (specifically, not space or tab) is an '@', then everything from there to the end of the line.

It's more difficult to specify multi-line font-lock regular expressions in X/Emacs, and at least XEmacs has a hard time font-locking multiple lines on the fly, so I don't intend to figure that out. Patches are welcome if they work on both Emacs and XEmacs.
