Sorry, this looks like more work than I'm able to squeeze in. I was hoping for
a well-established, time-tested API, but it looks more like work in progress.

If someone contributes patches including docs I'd be happy to try them out and check
them in.

The current docstring support isn't all that complicated. Look in boost/libs/python/src/object/function.cpp,
mainly function::signature().
