Description: A decorator is a function that receives a function,
        extends its behaviour, and returned the altered function. Any
        caller that uses the decorated function uses the same interface
        as it were the original, undecorated function. Decorators serve
        two primary uses: (1) Enhancing the response of a function as
        it sends data to a second component; (2) Supporting multiple
        optional behaviours. An example of the first use is a timer
        decorator that runs a function, outputs its execution time on
        the console, and returns the original function's result. An
        example of the second use is input type validation decorator
        that during running time tests whether the caller has passed
        input arguments of a particular class.  Decorators can reduce
        execution time, say by memoization, or reduce bugs by adding
        defensive programming routines.
