Robert,

What kind of wrappers are you thinking about?  For my libraries I am 
usually wrapping a concept (get table rows, update table, add to table, 
etc.) so there is no branching in what Valentina function is being 
called.  In this case a speed bump in the external would be great and I 
wouldn't lose anything on the transcript side.  Are you using wrappers 
that take the function name and any additional parameters as needed?  
If so I'm curious as to why.
