ObjectProxy lacked support for several Python special dunder methods, notably matrix multiplication and in-place operator behaviors, delaying wrapt 2.0.0.
The actual reason wrapt was created was to be able to perform monkey patching of Python code. One key aspect of being able to monkey patch Python code is to be able to have the ability to wrap target objects in Python with a wrapper which acts as a transparent object proxy for the original object. By extending the object proxy type, one can then intercept access to the target object to perform specific actions.
