depending on source code form (even if you can get it) is
highly error-prone. consider it UB.
also, i think that you'd better not guess, but ask the user to
explicitly instantiate the methods with `alias` -- this way you
have to write less hacky code, and the user will have more
control over what is bound. you may provide helper mixin
templates to instantiate n-ary functions with given set of
types too. this is slightly more work on the user side, but it
doesn't depend on hacks and undocumented things.
Yes, but i like the idea of "automagically" bind everything with
little user effort.
Sometimes you have a lot of code to expose to lua (and templated
code as well with lots of templated argument combinations), so I
think is nice to have some automated work on this.
But you are right about the "highly error-prone" part.
I´ll try to avoid that path :)
