The current context managers for starting transactions and marking spans are great. However, there have been a few cases where having decorators for transactions and spans would make code simpler to understand. For example celery tasks could be written like

@celery.task
@sentry_sdk.transaction(transaction="celery.update.user" op="job")
def update_user(user_id):
    # Do things

Has less visual noise than the decorator does, and when adding/removing instrumentation the entire function doesn't change. The same idea applies to spans:

@sentry_sdk.span(description="github.fetch_users", op="github.api")
def fetch_github_users(...):
    # do the api request and data transformations.

The names of the decorators in this issue are likely rubbish, but I think supporting decorators will help make adding instrumentation simpler for end users as it generates less noisy differences and reduces the amount of indentation in their code.
