//     Function: InterfaceMakerPythonNative::write_coerce_constructor
//       Access: Private
//  Description: Writes the definition for a coerce constructor: a
//               special constructor that is called to implicitly
//               cast a tuple or other type to a desired type.  This
//               is done by calling the appropriate constructor or
//               static make() function.  Constructors marked with
//               the "explicit" keyword aren't considered, just like
//               in C++.
//
//               There are usually two coerce constructors: one for
//               const pointers, one for non-const pointers.  This
//               is due to the possibility that a static make()
//               function may return a const pointer.
//
//               There are two variants of this: if the class in
//               question is a ReferenceCount, the coerce constructor
//               takes a reference to a PointerTo or ConstPointerTo
//               to store the converted pointer in.  Otherwise, it
//               is a regular pointer, and an additional boolean
//               indicates whether the caller is supposed to call

//     Function: InterfaceMakerPythonNative::collapse_default_remaps
//       Access: Private
//  Description: Special case optimization: if the last map is a subset
//               of the map before it, and the last parameter is only a
//               simple parameter type (that we have special default
//               argument handling for), we can merge the cases.
//               When this happens, we can make use of a special
//               feature of PyArg_ParseTuple for handling of these
//               last few default arguments.  This doesn't work well
//               for all types of default expressions, though, hence the
//               need for this elaborate checking mechanism down here,
//               which goes in parallel with the actual optional arg
//               handling logic in write_function_instance.
//
//               This isn't just to help reduce the amount of generated
//               code; it also enables arbitrary selection of keyword
//               arguments for many functions, ie. for this function:
//
//                 int func(int a=0, int b=0, bool c=false, string d="");
//
//               Thanks to this mechanism, we can call it like so:
//
//                 func(c=True, d=".")
//
//               The return value is the minimum of the number
//               of maximum arguments.
//
//               Sorry, let me try that again: it returns the
//               largest number of arguments for which the overloads
//               will be separated out rather than handled via the
//               special default handling mechanism.  Or something.
//
//               Please don't hate me.

//     Function: InterfaceMakerPythonNative::write_function_forset
//       Access: Private
//  Description: Writes out a set of function wrappers that handle
//               all instances of a particular function with the
//               same number of parameters.
//               (Actually, in some cases relating to default
//               argument handling, this may be called with remaps
//               taking a range of parameters.)
//
//               min_num_args and max_num_args are the range of
//               parameter counts to respect for these functions.
//               This is important for default argument handling.
//
//               expected_params is a reference to a string that
//               will be filled in with a list of overloads that
//               this function takes, for displaying in the doc
//               string and error messages.
//
//               If coercion_allowed is true, it will attempt
//               to convert arguments to the appropriate parameter
//               type using the appropriate Dtool_Coerce function.
//               This means it may write some remaps twice: once
//               without coercion, and then it may go back and
//               write it a second time to try parameter coercion.
//
//               If report_errors is true, it will print an error
//               and exit when one has occurred, instead of falling
//               back to the next overload.  This is automatically
//               disabled when more than one function is passed.
//
//               args_type indicates whether this function takes
//               no args, a single PyObject* arg, an args tuple,
//               or an args tuple and kwargs dictionary.
//
//               return_flags indicates which value should be
//               returned from the wrapper function and what should
//               be returned on error.
//
//               If check_exceptions is false, it will not check
//               if the function raised an exception, except if
//               it took PyObject* arguments.  This should NEVER
//               be false for C++ functions that call Python code,
//               since that would block a meaningful exception
//               like SystemExit or KeyboardInterrupt.
//
//               If verify_const is set, it will write out a check
//               to make sure that non-const functions aren't called
//               for a const "this".  This is usually only false when
//               write_function_for_name has already done this check
//               (which it does when *all* remaps are non-const).
//
//               If first_pexpr is not empty, it represents the
//               preconverted value of the first parameter.  This
//               is a special-case hack for one of the slot functions.
