(C) Define a function that takes a sequence of decorators and returns a
decorator that applies all decorators.

E.g.

def decorators(decs):
    def apply_decorators(f):
        for d in decs:
            f = d(f)
        return f
    return apply_decorators

def f(x) [decorators([foo, bar])]:
    pass

This scheme would have the advantage that it doesn't require any
additional syntax.
