"""

*What is this pattern about?

The Decorator pattern is used to dynamically add a new feature to an

object without changing its implementation. It differs from

inheritance because the new feature is added only to that particular

object, not to the entire subclass.

*What does this example do?

This example shows a way to add formatting options (boldface and

italic) to a text by appending the corresponding tags (<b> and

<i>). Also, we can see that decorators can be applied one after the other,

since the original text is passed to the bold wrapper, which in turn

is passed to the italic wrapper.

*Where is the pattern used practically?

The Grok framework uses decorators to add functionalities to methods,

like permissions or subscription to an event:

*References:

*TL;DR80

Adds behaviour to object without affecting its class.
