`module` is used as a keyword.

be0d804523 Support keyword-only arguments
This adds support for a `py::args_kw_only()` annotation that can be
specified between `py::arg` annotations to indicate that any following
arguments are keyword-only.  This allows you to write:

    m.def("f", [](int a, int b) { /* ... */ },
          py::arg("a"), py::args_kw_only(), py::arg("b"));

and have it work like Python 3's:

    def f(a, *, b):
        # ...

with respect to how `a` and `b` arguments are accepted (that is, `a` can
be positional or by keyword; `b` can only be specified by keyword).

f4245181ae enum_: move most functionality to a non-template implementation
This commit addresses an inefficiency in how enums are created in
pybind11. Most of the enum_<> implementation is completely generic --
however, being a template class, it ended up instantiating vast amounts
of essentially identical code in larger projects with many enums.

This commit introduces a generic non-templated helper class that is
compatible with any kind of enumeration. enum_ then becomes a thin
wrapper around this new class.

The new enum_<> API is designed to be 100% compatible with the old one.

fd9bc8f54d Add basic support for tag-based static polymorphism (#1326)
* Add basic support for tag-based static polymorphism

Sometimes it is possible to look at a C++ object and know what its dynamic type is,
even if it doesn't use C++ polymorphism, because instances of the object and its
subclasses conform to some other mechanism for being self-describing; for example,
perhaps there's an enumerated "tag" or "kind" member in the base class that's always
set to an indication of the correct type. This might be done for performance reasons,
or to permit most-derived types to be trivially copyable. One of the most widely-known
examples is in LLVM: https://llvm.org/docs/HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.html

This PR permits pybind11 to be informed of such conventions via a new specializable
detail::polymorphic_type_hook<> template, which generalizes the previous logic for
determining the runtime type of an object based on C++ RTTI. Implementors provide
a way to map from a base class object to a const std::type_info* for the dynamic
type; pybind11 then uses this to ensure that casting a Base* to Python creates a
Python object that knows it's wrapping the appropriate sort of Derived.

There are a number of restrictions with this tag-based static polymorphism support
compared to pybind11's existing support for built-in C++ polymorphism:

- there is no support for this-pointer adjustment, so only single inheritance is permitted
- there is no way to make C++ code call new Python-provided subclasses
- when binding C++ classes that redefine a method in a subclass, the .def() must be
  repeated in the binding for Python to know about the update

But these are not much of an issue in practice in many cases, the impact on the
complexity of pybind11's innards is minimal and localized, and the support for
automatic downcasting improves usability a great deal.

The property returns the enum_ value as a string.
For example:

>>> import module
>>> module.enum.VALUE
enum.VALUE
>>> str(module.enum.VALUE)
'enum.VALUE'
>>> module.enum.VALUE.name
'VALUE'

This is actually the equivalent of Boost.Python "name" property.

e88656ab45 Improve macro type handling for types with commas
- PYBIND11_MAKE_OPAQUE now takes ... rather than a single argument and
  expands it with __VA_ARGS__; this lets templated, comma-containing
  types get through correctly.
- Adds a new macro PYBIND11_TYPE() that lets you pass the type into a
  macro as a single argument, such as:

      PYBIND11_OVERLOAD(PYBIND11_TYPE(R<1,2>), PYBIND11_TYPE(C<3,4>), func)

  Unfortunately this only works for one macro call: to forward the
  argument on to the next macro call (without the processor breaking it
  up again) requires also adding the PYBIND11_TYPE(...) to type macro
  arguments in the PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_... macro chain.
- updated the documentation with these two changes, and use them at a couple
  places in the test suite to test that they work.

56613945ae Use semi-constexpr signatures on MSVC
MSCV does not allow `&typeid(T)` in constexpr contexts, but the string
part of the type signature can still be constexpr. In order to avoid
`typeid` as long as possible, `descr` is modified to collect type
information as template parameters instead of constexpr `typeid`.
The actual `std::type_info` pointers are only collected in the end,
as a `constexpr` (gcc/clang) or regular (MSVC) function call.

Not only does it significantly reduce binary size on MSVC, gcc/clang
benefit a little bit as well, since they can skip some intermediate
`std::type_info*` arrays.

2b4477eb65 Make TypeErrors more informative when an optional header is missing
E.g. trying to convert a `list` to a `std::vector<int>` without
including <pybind11/stl.h> will now raise an error with a note that
suggests checking the headers.

The note is only appended if `std::` is found in the function
signature. This should only be the case when a header is missing.
E.g. when stl.h is included, the signature would contain `List[int]`
instead of `std::vector<int>` while using stl_bind.h would produce
something like `MyVector`. Similarly for `std::map`/`Dict`, `complex`,
`std::function`/`Callable`, etc.

There's a possibility for false positives, but it's pretty low.

2. `.def(hash(py::self))` registers the hash function defined by
   `std::hash<T>` as the Python hash function.

1e5a7da30d Add py::pickle() adaptor for safer __getstate__/__setstate__ bindings
This is analogous to `py::init()` vs `__init__` + placement-new.
`py::pickle()` reuses most of the implementation details of `py::init()`.

d265933d85 Fix typos in Eigen documentation
Fixes one small variable name typo, and two instances where `py::arg().nocopy()` is used, where I think it should be `py::arg().noconvert()` instead. Probably `nocopy()` was the old/original name for it and then it was changed.

5e14aa6aa7 Allow module-local classes to be loaded externally
The main point of `py::module_local` is to make the C++ -> Python cast
unique so that returning/casting a C++ instance is well-defined.
Unfortunately it also makes loading unique, but this isn't particularly
desirable: when an instance contains `Type` instance there's no reason
it shouldn't be possible to pass that instance to a bound function
taking a `Type` parameter, even if that function is in another module.

This commit solves the issue by allowing foreign module (and global)
type loaders have a chance to load the value if the local module loader
fails.  The implementation here does this by storing a module-local
loading function in a capsule in the python type, which we can then call
if the local (and possibly global, if the local type is masking a global
type) version doesn't work.

464d98962d Allow binding factory functions as constructors
This allows you to use:

    cls.def(py::init(&factory_function));

where `factory_function` returns a pointer, holder, or value of the
class type (or a derived type).  Various compile-time checks
(static_asserts) are performed to ensure the function is valid, and
various run-time type checks where necessary.

Some other details of this feature:
- The `py::init` name doesn't conflict with the templated no-argument
  `py::init<...>()`, but keeps the naming consistent: the existing
  templated, no-argument one wraps constructors, the no-template,
  function-argument one wraps factory functions.
- If returning a CppClass (whether by value or pointer) when an CppAlias
  is required (i.e. python-side inheritance and a declared alias), a
  dynamic_cast to the alias is attempted (for the pointer version); if
  it fails, or if returned by value, an Alias(Class &&) constructor
  is invoked.  If this constructor doesn't exist, a runtime error occurs.
- for holder returns when an alias is required, we try a dynamic_cast of
  the wrapped pointer to the alias to see if it is already an alias
  instance; if it isn't, we raise an error.
- `py::init(class_factory, alias_factory)` is also available that takes
  two factories: the first is called when an alias is not needed, the
  second when it is.
- Reimplement factory instance clearing.  The previous implementation
  failed under python-side multiple inheritance: *each* inherited
  type's factory init would clear the instance instead of only setting
  its own type value.  The new implementation here clears just the
  relevant value pointer.
- dealloc is updated to explicitly set the leftover value pointer to
  nullptr and the `holder_constructed` flag to false so that it can be
  used to clear preallocated value without needing to rebuild the
  instance internals data.
- Added various tests to test out new allocation/deallocation code.
- With preallocation now done lazily, init factory holders can
  completely avoid the extra overhead of needing an extra
  allocation/deallocation.
- Updated documentation to make factory constructors the default
  advanced constructor style.
- If an `__init__` is called a second time, we have two choices: we can
  throw away the first instance, replacing it with the second; or we can
  ignore the second call.  The latter is slightly easier, so do that.

97aa54fefa Compile with hidden visibility always; set via cmake property rather than compiler flag
This updates the compilation to always apply hidden visibility to
resolve the issues with default visibility causing problems under debug
compilations.  Moreover using the cmake property makes it easier for a
caller to override if absolutely needed for some reason.

For `pybind11_add_module` we use cmake to set the property; for the
targets, we append to compilation option to non-MSVC compilers.

This also adds optional tests for `boost::variant` in C++11/14, if boost
is available. In C++17 mode, `std::variant` is tested instead.

4b159230d9 Made module_local types take precedence over global types
Attempting to mix py::module_local and non-module_local classes results
in some unexpected/undesirable behaviour:

- if a class is registered non-local by some other module, a later
  attempt to register it locally fails.  It doesn't need to: it is
  perfectly acceptable for the local registration to simply override
  the external global registration.
- going the other way (i.e. module `A` registers a type `T` locally,
  then `B` registers the same type `T` globally) causes a more serious
  issue: `A.T`'s constructors no longer work because the `self` argument
  gets converted to a `B.T`, which then fails to resolve.

Changing the cast precedence to prefer local over global fixes this and
makes it work more consistently, regardless of module load order.

7437c69500 Add py::module_local() attribute for module-local type bindings
This commit adds a `py::module_local` attribute that lets you confine a
registered type to the module (more technically, the shared object) in
which it is defined, by registering it with:

    py::class_<C>(m, "C", py::module_local())

This will allow the same C++ class `C` to be registered in different
modules with independent sets of class definitions.  On the Python side,
two such types will be completely distinct; on the C++ side, the C++
type resolves to a different Python type in each module.

This applies `py::module_local` automatically to `stl_bind.h` bindings
when the container value type looks like something global: i.e. when it
is a converting type (for example, when binding a `std::vector<int>`),
or when it is a registered type itself bound with `py::module_local`.
This should help resolve potential future conflicts (e.g. if two
completely unrelated modules both try to bind a `std::vector<int>`.
Users can override the automatic selection by adding a
`py::module_local()` or `py::module_local(false)`.

Note that this does mildly break backwards compatibility: bound stl
containers of basic types like `std::vector<int>` cannot be bound in one
module and returned in a different module.  (This can be re-enabled with
`py::module_local(false)` as described above, but with the potential for
eventual load conflicts).
