That's true.  I guess the (def* calls can happen at any level, really.

But the (def* thing is a heuristic, and we could say that we only use
that heuristic at the top level?

We should then mark all the (def* things we have in-tree with explicit
indentation marking (which I think we should do anyway, really).
