I implemented this by overloading unary * so that in boost python you 
could actually write what you wrote above.  David A. signed off on the 
idea so I think he'd welcome a patch.

Unfortunately I never got permission from my employer to post my patch.

I think it would be awesome if you did it -- I think these are the cases:

object(a1, a2 .. aN)
object(a1, a2 .. aN, *args)
object(a1, a2 .. aN, **kw)
object(a1, a2 .. aN, *args, **kw)
