Let me start by saying that I'm doing weird things that you might not want to support, in which case fair enough.

The wraps() decorator defined in in gi/overrides/__init__.py correctly copies across name and module, but misses several other important object properties (e.g., annotations, documentation). It also doesn't do the nice thing of adding a __wrapped__ attribute that points to the wrapped function.

As a result, introspection on e.g., Gtk.TextIter.forward_search() will give the strip_boolean_result wrapper function, preventing introspection of the actual signature of forward_search().

The easy fix for this is to replace the wraps() function in overrides with functools.wraps() from the standard library. I'll happily put together a patch for this if that seems sensible.
