multi-line lambdas, had it been added to python a long time ago, would had reduced a lot of complexity in the language. for example - with multi-line lambdas - decorators are unneccesary. just give the multi-line lambda as an argument to a function - no need for special syntax.. the alternative decorators would also be simpler. currently when you want to create a "decorator-that-accepts-additional- arguments" you gotta make a funtion that gets those additional-arguments and returns a function that will be the decorator.
