Sounds good.
Sorry I wasn't online to help with the other questions. I assume those
problems are solved, if not please ask again the questions.

Doesn't this work?
module.add_function(..., docstring="this is a docstring")
OK, looking at the code I found two bugs in pybindgen wrt docstrings:
1. there is a bug with handling docstrings with overloaded functions;
they will only work if the function is not overloaded with another function
with the same name;
2. I forgot to add a docstring parameter to method objects. But it's a
simple workaround, just:
method = MyClass.add_method(...)
method.docstring = "this is a docstring"
Again, only works if the method is not overloaded.
