This module provides functions which are useful for writing python wrapper functions (i.e. in this context, a
wrapper function is one whose aim is to call some other function on the caller's behalf but to provide some
additional functionality over and above what the base function provides).

    r"""
    Return a wrapper function definition line and a base function call line.

    This is a utility for helping to create wrapper functions.

    For example, if there existed a function with the following definition line:
    def sprint_foo_bar(headers=1):

    And the user wished to write a print_foo_bar wrapper function, they could call
    create_wrapper_def_and_call as follows:

    func_def_line, call_line = create_wrapper_def_and_call("sprint_foo_bar",
                                                           "print_foo_bar")

    They would get the following results:
    func_def_line                   def print_foo_bar(headers=1):
    call_line                       sprint_foo_bar(headers=headers)

    The func_def_line is suitable as the definition line for the wrapper function.  The call_line is suitable
    for use in the new wrapper function wherever it wishes to call the base function.  By explicitly
    specifying each parm in the definition and the call line, we allow the caller of the wrapper function to
    refer to any given parm by name rather than having to specify parms positionally.

    Description of argument(s):
    base_func_name                  The name of the base function around which a wrapper is being created.
    wrap_func_name                  The name of the wrapper function being created.
