How odd. I'm positive at one point I tested this and it was
the right way round.

 >>> def dec1(x):
...     print "dec1"
...     return x
...
 >>> def dec2(x):
...     print "dec2"
...     return x
...
 >>>
 >>> @dec1
... @dec2
... def foo(): pass
...
dec1
dec2
 >>>

This is definitely wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
