There's a reason functools.wraps [1] exists (despite the way it works
being an egregious hack) :)

But that's also the reason I've been careful in my examples of
equivalent semantics to make sure the inner function name matches the
eventually bound name in the outer scope - without overwriting
metadata the way @wraps(f) does, duplicating information in the
original source code is the only other way to get informative
introspection results.

Cheers,
Nick.
