""" Echo calls made to functions and methods in a module.

"Echoing" a function call means printing out the name of the function
and the values of its arguments before making the call (which is more
commonly referred to as "tracing", but Python already has a trace module).

Example: to echo calls made to functions in "my_module" do:

  import echo
  import my_module
  echo.echo_module(my_module)

Example: to echo calls made to functions in "my_module.my_class" do:

  echo.echo_class(my_module.my_class)

Alternatively, echo.echo can be used to decorate functions. Calls to the
decorated function will be echoed.

Example:

  @echo.echo
  def my_function(args):
      pass
