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