#' @details Wrappers in distr6 use the composite pattern (Gamma et al. 1994), so that a wrapped
#' distribution has the same methods and fields as an unwrapped one. After wrapping, the parameters
#' of a distribution are prefixed with the distribution name to ensure uniqueness of parameter IDs.
#'
#' Use [listWrappers] function to see constructable wrappers.
