Notes:
- it is very important to consider namespaces from the beginning.
`CLASSNAME` should be the mangled qualified class name, e.g., `foo_bar_MyClass` for `foo::bar::MyClass`,
`NAME_MANGLED` is the mangled qualified class name, e.g., `foo_bar_MyClass` for `foo::bar::MyClass`,
which is retrieved ny `Swig_string_mangle(Getattr(n, "name"))`
- namespaces do not need a function template, as they will not be
instantiated

- `$CLASS_LVAL`: should be the canonical name of the class, e.g. `ns1::ns2::MyClass`,
which can be retrieved using `Getattr(n, "name")`
- `$ARGS`: arguments should be declared at the beginning and checked and set in the
input typemap block
- `LOCALS`: declaration and marshalling for input arguments
- `MARSHAL_INPUT`: code is generated by applying input typemaps
- `ACTION`: the C/C++ ctor to be executed
