// This file extends boost::python::detail::get_signature to support member
// function pointers that have lvalue ref-qualifiers.  For example:
//
// class Foo {
//     void f() &;
// };
//
// Without this extension, boost::python cannot wrap ref-qualified member
// functions like this.
//
// This utility does not support rvalue ref-qualifiers.  There isn't really such
// a thing as an rvalue in Python, so it doesn't make sense to wrap rvalue
// ref-qualified member functions.  And boost.python's infrastructure always
// requires an lvalue for 'this' accordingly.
//
// To use this utility, #include this file before any other file in your
// wrapXXX.cpp file; the order matters.
