[C++-sig] Better introspection/apidoc extraction support?

[John Reid]

Would there be any chance of improving the formatting of mismatched 
arguments in python to C++ function call errors at the same time as this 
work? I'm not sure how related it is though. See

I think it would be a major improvement in useability.

Best,
John.
