Surely it *is* a list - a list of modifier functions to apply to the
original function.

To me, the 'as' syntax is misleading. It implies that the syntax is
asserting a type, style or similar attribute of the function. That may
be the expected normal use, with 'staticmethod' etc, but my
understanding is that it is meant to be more general than that. You
can apply any translation or any sequence of translations that you
choose.

Not that I care either way, just being pointlessly pedantic really.
