I still feel that the helper function (or class) is subordinate, and should be indented. Thinking of "in ..." as a decorator helps, but makes it seem that the helper function is the important part (which it sometimes is...) I understand that adding a colon and indent has its own problems, but ... I'm not certain this is better, and I am certain that the desire for indentation is strong enough to at least justify discussion in the PEP. -jJ
