Martin Zarate:

So, a solution, mixing them all so that it becomes more than a simple list declaration:

as [descriptors] def blah blah blah:

If you start a production with "as", then suddenly it matters more what the line before was/whether that line had a continuation character. For instance, the following becomes syntactically valid, though I doubt it means what the user expects.

import time			\
as logged_func
def ...

This objection does not apply to either

[descriptors] as

or

@[descriptors]

though the @[] format might still be in use by some user code.
