I'm with you on this point.  The "def name [...] (args...):" syntax is 
probably bearable for one decorator, but seems intolerable for the case of 
multiple decorators.  While the single-decorator case will likely be the most 
common, I think multiple decorators won't be so unusual that they should be 
severely burdened with cumbersome syntax.
