[Python-Dev] Questions about '@' in pep 318

> Please do not mislead people into thinking that a discussion of syntax
alone is of any value, *unless* there is a willingness on the part
of those against the "@" syntax to compromise on a single alternative.

This statement seems a bit too strong, for the following reasons:

1. Adding @ impacts major external tools, negatively.
2. Adding @ is, in fact, a major change to the language.
3. The "willingness to compromise" is not really the driving force here: GvR
is the only vote that matters.

I have stated that Leo can probably live with the at sign.  I have also
stated elsewhere my reasons for not being particularly happy with it.

For the record, I am +0 on the semantics.
