If you name the decos decorator1, etc, not really ambigous, mearly hard to
find the foo in the soup.  But try

def bar(baz(foo))(a1,aN): pass

and it becomes easily ambigous.  Anyway, by current Python syntax,
decoN(foo) look like a function call on an *existing* object foo.  The
current situation is that name(arg) is always a func call except when name
*immediately* follows def.  Like Tim, I really don't want that to change.
