Description: pybind11 is a lightweight header-only library that
        exposes C++ types in Python and vice versa, mainly to create Python bindings of
        existing C++ code. Its goals and syntax are similar to the excellent
        Boost.Python by David Abrahams: to minimize boilerplate code in traditional
        extension modules by inferring type information using compile-time
        introspection.
        
        The main issue with Boost.Python-and the reason for creating such a similar
        project-is Boost. Boost is an enormously large and complex suite of utility
        libraries that works with almost every C++ compiler in existence. This
        compatibility has its cost: arcane template tricks and workarounds are
        necessary to support the oldest and buggiest of compiler specimens. Now that
        C++11-compatible compilers are widely available, this heavy machinery has
        become an excessively large and unnecessary dependency.
        
        Think of this library as a tiny self-contained version of Boost.Python with
        everything stripped away that isn't relevant for binding generation. Without
        comments, the core header files only require ~4K lines of code and depend on
        Python (2.7 or 3.x, or PyPy2.7 >= 5.7) and the C++ standard library. This
        compact implementation was possible thanks to some of the new C++11 language
        features (specifically: tuples, lambda functions and variadic templates). Since
        its creation, this library has grown beyond Boost.Python in many ways, leading
        to dramatically simpler binding code in many common situations.
