Comment:

 There are some issues still with the bindings, shown by the python tests.

 Having poked it for a while, I think we need to "disown" (in SWIG terms)
 the wrapped subclassed objects when we pass them to C++, so that the C++
 half holds a reference to the Python (or other language) half, and then
 sort out a few kinks so everything works smoothly with that done.

 Marking this for 1.3.2.
