IMO, the most common uses of decorators will be to define properties,
and class and static methods.  IMO, these uses would be better served
by a simpler syntax:

   def classmethod foo(cls, ...):
       ...

This simplified syntax only allows names to specify decorators.  It
could allow multiple names, although I'm not sure it should,

I find this *far* more readable and obvious than any of the other syntaxs
I've seen propsed.

Those applications that *need* decorator arguments could use the more complex
pie-shaped notation.
