Creating a converter to/from a raw pointer is rather tricky (due to the way 
argument type deduction handles pointers & references seamlessly, IIUC). You 
should either expose _p_Mat or wrap the raw pointer in a struct and then 
expose converters to it:
  struct Mat { struct _p_Mat *ptr; };
If you come up with a better way, I'd be interested.
