Interesting.

So you are saying I can do

  double l(1);

because this could not be a function declaration so the double
constructor is called with an integer argument, but in

  double l( Py::Float(rect[0]) );

the compiler thinks I am declaring a function l that takes Py::Float*
as an argument and returns a double?  Hmm.  This line was inside a
class method -- I didn't think you could declare functions in a class
method....

Still confused, but perhaps on the road to enlightenment.
