Re: luabind and std::multimap

Sorry it took me so long to get this too you. You can use these as 
examples, I recommend against using std::list and std::set in their 
current forms (the containers do not support random access so the 
implementations are very inefficient, you may need to solve this problem 
to get this solution to work.)

To get the effect you seem to be looking for first add a new set of 
templates to support ranges of iterators in stl_container_converter.hpp 
like so:

template <class I>
struct default_converter< const std::pair< I, I > *>

And have that build a new detail::stl_adapter< std::pair < > > in its 
apply method. In stl_container_adapter.hpp implement a new 
specialization for iterating across (pair.right, pair.left].

Then add a new partial specialization for std::multimap (converter and 
adapter) you'll need to override, at the very least, the __index and 
__next methods. You may need to store some sort of state information on 
metatable as well.

Good luck.
