Unlike import, we are dealing will full-blown expressions here, not
just single identifiers, so you'd have to figure out how to deal with
e.g.:

  def foo(bar) as (baz), gazonk: pass # legal?

A variation with cleaner implementation: Let the decorator-list be a
single expression. If that expression evaluates to a tuple, treat it
like a sequence of decorator functions. If not, treat it like a single
decorator.

+1 on def foo(bar) as baz
+0 on def foo(bar)[baz]
