 For syntax options which use a list-like syntax to specify the
-decorators a few alternatives have been proposed: '[|...|]',
-'*[...]*', and '<...>'.  None have gained traction.  The alternatives
-which involve square brackets only serve to make it obvious that the
-decorator construct is not a list.  They do nothing to make parsing
-any easier.  The '<...>' alternative presents parsing problems because
-'<' and '>' already parse as un-paired.  They present a further
-parsing ambiguity because a right angle bracket might be a greater
-than symbol instead of a closer for the decorators.
