Templates such as checking or deprecated_option implement decorators. With the way things currently work, this skips running _prepare_function on the decorated function, so the decorated function isn't set up with a restricted global scope. And since functions are not using __setitem__ when setting global variables, it means such functions could theoretically overwrite globals in the sandbox.

While not critical, because it's not likely to cause actual problems at the moment, it's possible it causes problems after bug 1256571, which would change the execution order, and might lead to templates and function declared later available to those functions, while it's not supposed to be the case.

Someday I hope to read decorator definitions and not need to work forward from first principles.
