Nice. The solution is define the overloads as:

    BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS(f_overloads, default_f, 0, 2)

generate the module as:

    class_< X, XWrap >("X")       
        .def("f", &X::f, &XWrap::default_f )
        .def("f", &XWrap::default_f, f_overloads())
    ;

Thanks a lot Dave! (Don't you sleep? 8P)

Farewell,
Nicodemus.
