-This module supplies one function, :func:`wrapper`, which runs another function
-which should be the rest of your curses-using application.  If the application
-raises an exception, :func:`wrapper` will restore the terminal to a sane state
-before re-raising the exception and generating a traceback.

-
-.. function:: wrapper(func, ...)
-
-   Wrapper function that initializes curses and calls another function, *func*,
-   restoring normal keyboard/screen behavior on error. The callable object *func*
-   is then passed the main window 'stdscr' as its first argument, followed by any
-   other arguments passed to :func:`wrapper`.
-
-Before calling the hook function, :func:`wrapper` turns on cbreak mode, turns
-off echo, enables the terminal keypad, and initializes colors if the terminal
-has color support.  On exit (whether normally or by exception) it restores
-cooked mode, turns on echo, and disables the terminal keypad.
