All along I've not been too particular on the syntax for decorators. I 
see the need for tham, and still have sneaking suspicion this will end 
up changing the way people use Python in many contexts.

Now that the @ syntax is out, I am feeling it is the best of the many 
available options. All the proposals has pros and cons, but the @ syntax 
seems to always win with more pros, especially after more experimentation.

I look forward to taking advantage of the decorators very soon. I can't 
imagine there are any further syntax options remaining, although I 
wouldn't be opposed if the community could put something together.

Anyways, this hardly turns out to be a rallying defense. But the need 
for functionality is there, and the many syntax proposals have been 
weighed. The better option has already been committed in my eyes.

I'm just glad >> wasn't involved, heh.
