+ [Python] #2390 Remove deprecated and apparently useless defarg.swg
+
+ The only documentation is in the file itself and describes a Python
+ wrapper around the C function defined here, but digging though the
+ git history this Python wrapper doesn't seem to have ever actually
+ been generated by SWIG.
+
+ This file was also marked as deprecated in 2005.

-/* This file defines an internal function for processing default arguments
- with proxy classes.
-
- There seems to be no straightforward way to write proxy functions
- involving default arguments. For example :
-
- def foo(arg1,arg2,*args):
- proxyc.foo(arg1,arg2,args)
-
- This fails because args is now a tuple and SWIG doesn't know what to
- do with it.
-
- This file allows a different approach :
-
- def foo(arg1,arg2,*args):
- proxyc.__call_defarg(proxyc.foo,(arg1,arg2,)+args)
-
- Basically, we form a new tuple from the object, call this special
- __call_defarg method and it passes control to the real wrapper function.
- An ugly hack, but it works.
