Incomplete, but up to date.

I assumed that all this slots talk was for extensions. Now I see what you are solving:

Pre 2.2 using the Python predicate tests is workable to detect a dict or list. But with
2.2 allowing objects to be partially like a list its very hard to do a simplistic wrap
of a PyObject* into a C++ object that reliably works. In fact this can be a problem before
2.2, but not with the builtin types.

I'll re-read the thread and see if I have anything new to say.
