See pp 9-14 of http://www.boost-consulting.com/writing/langbinding.ppt

Depends what you mean by "Alexandrescu-like."  

I suggest you read up on call policies in Boost.Python.
http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/functions.html#python.call_policies
http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/CallPolicies.html#CallPolicies-concept

And also maybe Luabind:
