There is a combinatorics problem there that make the tests difficult  
to follow.  Lots of nested macros and such.

Great.  I have been considering changing the directory structure of  
numpy/doc/swig to include subdirectories: doc/, test/, and now  
example/, if there are some.  Some people were confused by its  
current structure, which just lumps everything together.  Let me know  
when you have a working example.

I use numpy.i with C++ all the time.  Let me know the specific nature  
of your problem and I'll look into it.
