+# 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:
