[C++-sig] Reference counted object return value policy

Of course, I was interpreting what you said (perhaps too 
enthusiastically). I've really been impressed at how boost.python seemed 
to just do the right thing automatically in many cases, so I thought 
this was another instance where I thought something complex was required 
but something simple actually worked better. Sorry for putting words in 
your mouth.

Sure, that's a valid assessment. I'll do more reading and see if I can 
make a new start.

Thanks,

J-S
