According to our great friends over at
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shim_%28computing%29),
Shim's are described as
- a small library that transparently intercepts API calls and changes the
arguments passed, handles the operation itself, or redirects the operation
elsewhere.[1][2] Shims typically come about when the behavior of an API
changes, thereby causing compatibility issues for older applications which
still rely on the older functionality. In such cases, the older API can still
be supported by a thin compatibility layer on top of the newer code.
