If @decorator stays in, I fervently hope it won't be taken as a precedent for using @ for other things all over the place. Otherwise we really will end up with a language that resembles Perl.
That's dangerously close to rhetorical nonsense. @ will always be used to indicate meta-information (roughly speaking), while in Perl it indicates a (certain kind of) variable. Very different.
