8740,Possibly invalid assertion in define_with_defaults(),Andreas Kloeckner <inform@…>,Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve,"Hi there,

this assertion in `boost/python/detail/defaults_def.hpp` seems backwards:

{{{
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(
    (stubs_type::max_args) <= mpl::size<SigT>::value);
}}}

I.e. I would expect the assertion to be that the actual number of arguments is *smaller* than the max or *larger* than the min.

It caused me a compile error like the following on gcc 4.8:
