<p>
A ResultConverter for a type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code>
is a type whose instances can be used to convert C++ return values of type
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">T</span></code> <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">to_python</span></code>.
A ResultConverterGenerator is an MPL unary metafunction class which, given
the return type of a C++ function, returns a ResultConverter for that type.
ResultConverters in Boost.Python generally inspect library's registry of
converters to find a suitable converter, but converters which don't use
the registry are also possible.
