A slight variation of the J4 syntax could allow a single-decorator variant to look like:

 def foo(cls,bar) @classmethod as:
     # code here

versus this for multiple decorators:

 def foo(cls,bar)
     @classmethod
     @synchronized
 as:
     # code here

Neither variant needs a new keyword or future.
