Boost:::python inheritance

Hi,

I naively assumed that if I write something like

  class_builder<BaseMaterial> BaseMaterial_(camfr, "BaseMaterial");
  BaseMaterial_.def(&BaseMaterial::operator(), "__call__");
   
  class_builder<Material> Material_(camfr, "Material");
  Material_.declare_base(BaseMaterial_);

, I would automatically get the __call__ operator available in 
Material, as it derives from BaseMaterial.

However, this does not seem to work, I have to explicitly define 
operator() in Material as well, in order to get it to work.

Am I missing something here? It would be really useful if one did not 
have to manually reregister functions in derived classes.
