[PyQt] Problems with wrapping complex types using typedefs

[Casper Ti. Vector]

For now, aside from directly writing code to wrap

this is the only way that works; either

> #define sipType_idxx sipFindType("idxx")

or
> #define sipType_cell sipFindType("cell")
> typedef std::pair<int, int> cell;
> std::map<std::pair<int, int>, idxx> Test;
causes segfaults.

However, I still hope for a way to eradicate these disgusting segfaults
without reintroducing those magic numbers in headers.
Phil, could you help me?  Thanks...
