Ok, then whatever changes you've made to the Python system to support 
that would allow the same syntax to be used in what I'm suggesting.

     def foo(whatever):
         __decoration__ = (1,1,param=True)

     def decoration(decoratedFunc, a, b, param=False):
         __decorator__ = True
         __version__ = '0.1'
         # body of 'decoration' decorator function goes here...
