[C++-sig] Wrappend objects identity problem

[Andreas Beyer]

This issue keeps coming up again and again:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c++/9046
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c++/9029
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c++/7977

So, maybe someone would volunteer to write a FAQ for this issue?
