For calling methods on objects, you can simplify yet further by using the
:func:`getattr` built-in to retrieve methods with a particular name::

It's suggested that you use a prefix for the method names, such as ``visit_`` in
this example. Without such a prefix, if values are coming from an untrusted

The decorator syntax is merely syntactic sugar, the following two
function definitions are semantically equivalent::

The same concept exists for classes, but is less commonly used there. See
