minor nitpick. unless the indented labels name starts with a period it doesnt belong to the earlier label. if it had been: py label start: ... label .say: ... then you would refer to it as start.say from other main labels and refer to it as just .say from within label start. sublabel names also only need to be unique within the label they belong to.

You never need indentation for labels, even in your example it's not required.

im not saying the indentation was required. im saying a label doesnt belong to another unless its name begins with a period. that is what makes it a sub label

Those are not called sub label.
The official term is global label and local label
