The more I think about it, the more I like the "@class foo" syntax. The existing syntax for functions doesn't have anything between the decorators and the "def"; having class decorators embedded within the class should still allow the docstring to be the first thing, so there's more distance between the decorator and the name being decorated. The extra hint about what's being decorated is nice.
