                - self_class : the name of the class of the C++ object (only for static method)
                - the name of the parameters.
              It should define a "result" variable :
                - unless for a constructor or if the C++ return type is void.
                - result shall be of any type from which the C++ return type is (move) constructible.

           - For long functions in pure C++.
           - If True, the GIL is released in the call of the C++ function and restored after the call.
           - It also saves the signal handler of python and restores it after the call,
             and enables the C++ triqs signal_handler.
           - This allows e.g. to intercept Ctrl-C during the long C++ function.
           - **Requirement** :
              The function wrapped must be pure C++, i.e.  no call whatsoever to the python C API, directly or indirectly.
