On the surface, seems like a fair design to me: Back-compatible yet solves
this misalignment that bugged me (literally).
It would also force the documentation of `functools.wraps` to mention this
"trap", through describing the `signature_changed` flag.
As for the `__wrapped_with_changed_signature__`; yes, it's terrible. But I
have no better. At least, it's very descriptive!
