Hmm. Why would you *want* decorator annotations to be especially visible on a page of code? Indentation and blank lines still make class, method, and function boundaries clear, and that's the important "page level" structure. Decorators are details. > The pipe tends to blend in to a disturbing degree. Indeed, for me that's a reason to prefer | over @. BTW, while the PEP wasn't clear on this point last I looked, I hope it allows for whitespace after the | (or @, or =, or whatever it is). > Making it a different colour in an editor also doesn't seem to help > that much.

If we're at the point where a change actually *helps* someone, I'm not gonna hold that against it.
