Ah - see, you've _also_ included statements in the decorator block.
This is not going to be allowed - the decorators _must_ be
expressions. This example code is actually a pretty strong "anti"
point for J2 that I hadn't been able to quite articulate before - it
_looks_ like a normal block, but it isn't. Only expressions can be in
it.
The above _should_ generate a SyntaxError on the 'if'.
