[C++-sig] Boost.Python not resolving overloads

>>> from TnFOX import *
>>> fh=FXFile("fred.txt")
>>> print fh.name()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    FXFile.name()
did not match C++ signature:
    name(class FX::FXString)
    name(class FX::FXFile {lvalue})
>>> print fh.name(fh)
fred.txt

As it says, there are two name()'s defined. I tried a number of other 
functions with no parameters and all of them cause an error if there 
are overloads present. The only way to make them work is to include 
the instance as the first parameter.

Is this right? It's counter-intuitive and inconvenient - surely 
boost.python can try inserting the instance if no parameters are 
present?

Cheers,
Niall
