# Still to come here (need to write tests and docs):
# update_wrapper - utility function to transfer basic function
# metadata to wrapper functions
# WRAPPER_ASSIGNMENTS & WRAPPER_UPDATES - defaults args to above
# (update_wrapper has been approved by BDFL)
# wraps - decorator factory equivalent to:
# def wraps(f):
# return partial(update_wrapper, wrapped=f)
#
# The wraps function makes it easy to avoid the bug that afflicts the
# decorator example in the python-dev email proposing the
# update_wrapper function:
