How is that better than the following code: urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'foo/$', never_cache(myview)) )

buriy: less code. Just as different as to use patters('common.prefix', ...)

Yeah, I basically didn't want to have to put never_cache() around every single URL entry for my site's JSON API (of which there are 30 or so functions). Much easier to do it once and never touch it again.
