Does not work with SWIG-generated classes

  affects pydoctor

Pydoctor does not generate documentation for classes wrapped by SWIG
(www.swig.org). SWIG creates classes like this:

class event(object):
    thisown = _swig_property(lambda x: x.this.own(), lambda x, v:
x.this.own(v), doc='The membership flag')
    __repr__ = _swig_repr
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        _events.event_swiginit(self,_events.new_event(*args, **kwargs))
    __swig_destroy__ = _events.delete_event
event.loop_once = new_instancemethod(_events.event_loop_once,None,event)
event.loop_wait = new_instancemethod(_events.event_loop_wait,None,event)
event_swigregister = _events.event_swigregister
event_swigregister(event)

pydoctor will in this case only document event.__init__(). It would be
nice if it would also document event.loop_once and event.loop_wait.

Yuck :)

Something can probably be done, though.
