Actually, that's an interesting case study. Myself and others advocated for a keyword other than 'def' for introducing generators. That wasn't how things turned out and in hindsight I think Guido made the right decision. I'm confident the same thing will happen with decorators.

Ya, but it's sure taking Guido long enough to figure that out in this case!

def staticmethod: def author(name='Barry'): def returns([int]): def method(self): return 42
