No new guessing.  It's called in

                ret= func( *ar2, **kwar2 )

You might suggest a better name, though, than decwrap.  Something like
@call_here
with_specified_function.  What?  This probably goes under "Complex is
better than complicated."

It's not a typical decorator, but the f= g( f ) semantics come handily.
