This is another interesting approach, but after a few tries,
I discovered the 
registry is really hard to get by, as it is a static
variable defined in a 
"hidden" function in an anonymous namespace in the
registry.cpp file.
Any suggestions on how to extract it? As an
"extern" of some kind?

Without modifying the source code, there is no way. The only
way to search 
the registry externally is via the
boost::python::converter::query 
function, but then you need to provide a type_info, and to
do this 
exhaustively is not really simpler than using an
"inverse" registry like I 
mentionned.
