Ooh, didn't think of that. So maybe it's a language guarantee that
hasn't been written down somewhere, and the "func = deco(func)"
version is a known-imperfect-equivalent, same as "for x in iter: yield
x" is an imperfect equivalent for "yield from iter".

It would be possible to support @x.setter by simply guaranteeing that
the decorator expression is evaluated prior to the function creation:

_tmp = x.setter # but without using an actual name
def x(self, value):
    self._x = value
x = _tmp(x)

But I doubt the language needs to go to this level of finickiness. In
fact, all it really needs is an acknowledgement that there are corner
cases:
