[C++-sig] Re: operator ->, cast operator

[Leonard "paniq" Ritter]

appending i should say that the code compiled, but i still had no access 
on View's methods. i modified the code so that the export of Ptr<> was 
removed (i assume it was not needed anymore), and so i'm left with an 
abstract class export with a custom smart pointer that doesnt give me 
any benefit because i dont have access to the smart pointers constructor 
(which a shortcut to looking up the library from the class id, loading 
it, resolving the factory function and obtaining a new object) - that 
means using Ptr<> as HeldType does not seem to let me use the interface 
instantiations in the fashion i wanted to from python.

given that Ptr<> itself exports a few nice methods i want to use from 
python (such as factory constructors and interface querying methods), is 
there any chance of exposing these?
