[C++-sig] Quick question about wrapping methods that have multiple versions

[Jean-Sébastien Guay]

Hi Stefan,

Sorry, thanks for correcting my terminology. :-)

Yeah, that's true, and it will be especially ugly when the method has 
arguments (I guess the cast will then have to include all the argument 
types too...)

Thanks,

J-S
