was the following suggested already? (don't think so):

     def p_statement_expr(self, p):
         staticmethod
         grammarrule('statement : expression')
         version("Added in 2.4")
         deprecatedmethod
         type_(None)
     body:
         """docstring here"""
         print p[1]


This would eliminate the problem of the moved parameters, yet keep all the
pros you listed.

The docstring could allowed to be with the decorators so that all
"meta-data" (from the perspective of a user) would be together.
