Does this mean that the C#-style syntax has a chance if it's got a 
__future__?  :)

Also, you might want to define "superior" in order to avoid re-opening the 
floodgates of syntax argument.

With regard to the PEP, I thought there were two volunteers who mentioned 
an intent to work on it in the past week; if they are not still doing so, 
I'd be happy to at least add the issues with "def decorator functionname()" 
that I remember (visual confusion for decorators w/arguments, tool 
confusion for existing tools).
