How about some syntactic sugar for " __name__ == '__main__' "?

99% of the time the content of <<<block of code>>> is just "main()",
so then you're proposing replacing this:
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
with this:
@main
def myFunction():
my_main()
Which feels redundant to me. Why have a function here that does
nothing but call another function?
I think if this is the goal then a simple predicate would be clearer:
if is_main_module():
main()
