I really want tracebacks to show which function was being executed when
an error in the wrapper function happens. In order to do that, you have
to do this (the function in this module.)
Here's what it looks like when you pass too few arguments to e.g. "mul".
>>> from joy.library import _dictionary
>>> m = _dictionary['*']
>>> m((), (), {})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#49>", line 1, in <module>
m((), (), {})
File "joy/library.py", line 185, in mul:inner
(a, (b, stack)) = stack
ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack
>>>
Notice that line 185 in the library.py file is (as of this writing) in
the BinaryBuiltinWrapper's inner() function, but this hacky code has
managed to insert the name of the wrapped function ("mul") along with a
colon into the wrapper function's reported name.
Normally I would frown on this sort of mad hackery, but... this is in
the service of ease-of-debugging! Very valuable. And note that all the
hideous patching is finished in the module-load-stage, it shouldn't cause
issues of its own at runtime.
The main problem I see with this is that people coming to this code later
might be mystified if they just see a traceback with a ':' in the
function name! Hopefully they will discover this documentation.

If you want to wrap a function in another function and have the wrapped
function's name show up in the traceback, you must do this brutal
hackery to change the func.__code__.co_name attribute. See:

I'm just glad it's possible.
