For operators and special methods SIP now generates the call to sipParseArgs() 
even when you use %MemberCode - so it needs to know the argument types. If 
you are implementing foo.__setitem__() then you need something like...

void __setitem__(int,foo *);

It's not yet possible fully implement a Python like container type. For 
example you can't write SIP code that will implement this...

qsl = QStringList()
qsl[:] = ['abc', 'def']

Over the next few days I will fully implement QStringList as a Python 
container type so that it is a model example, and to identify what needs to 
be added to SIP.
