i didn't dislike it either, vaguely seeing the same reason .. perhaps a
little analogous to how a reference to the instance is passed in method
calls as the first argument, instead of having a magic reference (like
'this' in Java?)

was sometimes a bit strange though to have it passed through a longish
chain of intermediate functions finally to the one that rendered the
response, but still didn't find that bad.

the decorator draft that Oleg just posted seemed interesting, thanks for
all those that have been slowly teaching the whole mechanism (haven't
studied, not to mention tried or used it, otherwise yet :)
