[erlang-questions] How to wrap a function of any arity

[Ludovic Coquelle]

Sorry I did not give a good explanation of what I try to do. I would like to
write the function "wrap_fun" so that I can call it with different inner
functions. Let say I have different functions:
compute_one/1
compute_two/2
I would like to be able to write:
Log_compute_one = wrap_fun(compute_one, logger),
Log_compute_two = wrap_fun(compute_two, logger).
