7. Args inspector - write a function called inspect_args that prints passed args and kwargs in human-readable format.
8. Logger wrapper - write a function called logger_wrapper that wraps call to any function in order to log passed args. The function must take foo, *args and **kwargs, prints *args and **kwargs in human readable format and finally call foo with args and kwargs
