Changes

A '''wrapper''' is a reimplementation of a [[wikipedia:Library (computing)|library]], where the goal is to substitute the original API with a better-supported interface. It works as a drop-in replacement for the original library, since a lot of software usually bundled it as-is without any fine-tuning. Wrappers are most common for proprietary interfaces that are either abandoned or otherwise platform-specific.
