Currently, invoking python from C++ requires a lot of boilerplate. For example, see any class named /\w+Vtable/ which holds a bundle of function pointers and a single OwnedRef to a python object accessed by those functions. This is unnecessarily baroque for adding simple callbacks and we could instead have a general purpose utility similar to std::bind which can bring a python object into closure.
