Has somebody suggested the following yet?

Yes, but I'm not sure who .

Subversive instantly rejected idea of the day: syntactically allow the square brackets in any of these three locations:

def [decorator] method [decorator] (args) [decorator]

You'd probably want to disallow more than one [decorator] per definition (but maybe not). Each of these locations is supported by a different valid use case, IMO, so why not allow any of them?
