  return arg1 + arg2;
};

//Simply wrap the function you want to observe
var observer = observeFunction(observedFunction);

//assign callback to be called before function executes
observer.before(function(){
  console.log('I am called before');
});

//... and after it executes
observer.after(function(){
  console.log('I am called after');
