Somebody should add to the PEP that solutions requiring an extra indent level for the function have a drawback. Having your minimal indent level be three deep is painful for those using limited-width windows; also, the inconsistent indentation between methods with and without decorators would be a readability problem (plus,

I still prefer this method over the current implementation, given the other pros/cons. Anyway, I'm adding these to the Wiki as negative points.

adding/removing decorators would require reindenting the entire method body).

I belive all of us are used to quickly reidenting Python code by now. :-)
