Nitpicker's note: lambda as a decorator isn't legal today (although I argued in the past maybe it should be), and I don't think PEP 403 would change it, so that won't work. Nevertheless, this would be legal if I understand correctly:

_ = lambda arg: arg

:assert @(1) == 1
@_(lambda f: return lambda x: return x)
def spam(): pass
