Curious about decorator syntax

[rjdegraff42]

I'm curious as to the rationale behind the choice of decorator syntax for getters and setters. Take, for example:

    @property
    def prop(self):
        return self._prop
        
    @prop.setter
    def prop(self, value):
        if not isinstance(value, int | float) or value <= 0:
            raise ValueError("positive number expected")
        self._prop = value
 

It seems to me that the following syntax would have been both more consistent, clearer, and less prone to typos (note that you don't need to specify the property name in both the @property line and def line):

    @getter
    def prop(self):
        return self._prop
        
    @setter
    def prop(self, value):
        if not isinstance(value, int | float) or value <= 0:
            raise ValueError("positive number expected")
        self._prop = value
