seems to be zexy's [wrap] which allows you to take 2 arguments to wrap between

seems to be vanilla's [wrap] which ignores all arguments and always  
wraps between [0, 1).

should be fairly simple to write an abstraction that wraps vanilla's  
[wrap] into the zexy version.

basically you have to do a transformation to map the range -4..4 into  
0..1 for the input of vanilla's [wrap] and the other way round for the  
output.

consult your secondary school's math textbooks for a solution to the problem.
