And that really should have been:

# using rightcurry as mentioned in PEP 309 [**]
@foo_decorator
@rightcurry(bar_decorator, "one param here")

But that's not a primary issue.
The primary issues were: (1) That decorators with vs. without
arguments look inconsistent, like function calls vs. function
references, and (2) that consequentially, decorator syntax is
implicitly introducing a non-viable currying syntax.
