Hmm. Did you see
http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/pyplusplus.html page? If so
what documentation you think it lacks or what could be improved?

I can answer for Py++ only. If I understand right, SWIG typemaps, than
you are looking for "Function Transformation" feature:
http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/documentation/functions/transformation/transformation.html

If you combine it with "query" functionality (
http://language-binding.net/pygccxml/query_interface.html ) you get
what you want.
