Probably, yes.

As expected, this could turn into a huge wishlist of things that  
would be nice to have, certainly not all feasible for a GSoC  
project :). I would say

(1) Being able to wrap templated code
(2) Polyomorphic functions

would be the priorities, and allow a nearly full wrapping of STL. If  
time permits

(3) operator overloading (we have this for Python classes of course,  
but to allow the + operator, etc. to be used for declared C++ classes)

would be good to.
