Hmm, neither of those seems intuitive to me... of course, I'm
probably just missing your logic.

I think I might use something like 'original' or 'wrapped' or
'sub'... 

Of course, couldn't we just call it 'fred'? Would there be a name
conflict with the 'fred :around' method? (And this syntax makes
my eyes itch, by the way. But Matz said it's not decided.)
