No, not yet. I think I will change the way operators are currently 
exported. Currently, it tries to use Boost.Python's facilities for 
operators, ie:

struct A {
    A operator+(const B);
}

It will generate:

    class_<A>(...)
        .def(self + other<B>())
    ;

But I will change it to export the explicit Python special names, to 
ease dealing with virtual operators:

    class<A>(...)
        .def("__add__", &A::operator+)
    ;

You people think that this is a great loss in readability? Because this 
would let my code in the operators section much more clear.
