I'm sorry Chris. But that's a weak argument and you know it. If I use 
those decorators inside properly formated docstrings, I can do both 
things, and more! And I don't have to  move anything anywhere. 

    def func(a, b, c):
    """
    This function does something very interesting and returns a surprise
    :a: an integer, also known as whole number (lies!)
    :b: a float on a string so it can't escape
    :c: an unicode string with some bad language

    @typehint@ some crazy syntax for static analysis
    @marshallib@ more crazy syntax for the marshall lib
    @anotherlib@ Whoohoo! a 3rd annotation for another lib
    """

Are you telling me this is not a viable alternative. That somehow we 
should ignore the possibility of potentially different annotations 
having to coexist on a project? C'mon!
