I personally don't think we should have such a decorator: test shouldn't be flakey. In my experience, when tests are flakey, they are almost always either poor tests or actual bugs. I'm worried that a decorator like this makes it easy to sweep these issues under the rug. That's not to say that things cannot be flakey sometimes: because of how we test the debugger, we depend on a lot of things, many of which are out of our control and can cause a test to fail. But that's different from a specific test being flakey, which is what this decorator would be used for.
