Actually I think that's a good thing - it forces everyone to format
things the same way.  I was a fan of the "def foo() [decorator]" syntax
but I've changed my mind - this way has several things going for it:

	- Simple implementation
	- More or less forces one style of code layout
	- Doesn't break tools that look for "def foo(" type patterns
`	- Short-circuits the endless syntax discussion :-)
