 So let's implement such a decorator.  A decorator is a function that

-keep in mind when implementing something like this is to update the
-`__name__`, `__module__` and some other attributes of a function.  This is
-often forgotten, but you don't have to do that by hand, there is a
-function for that that is used like a decorator (:func:`functools.wraps`).
+wraps and replaces another function.  Since the original function is
+replaced, you need to remember to copy the original function's information
+to the new function.  Use :func:`functools.wraps` to handle this for you.
