I further worry what will happen to tools like inspect.getsource() with decorators outside the def:

@foo @bar def baz(x,y): .... if I try to get the source for baz, will I see foo/bar? For introspection tools, this can lead to pretty misleading results. But perhaps this is easy to solve or has even already been taken care of. I imagine if @foo/@bar were inside the def, this wouldn't be an issue. Right now, you'll see the source of the function/method defined above the decorators or, if none, the top line/lines of the source file. Yes, it's pretty broken.

I uploaded a quick patch for this broken behaviour to SF, patch 1006219, if anyone cares.
