This example shows how to make an Extension Class "pickleable".
The world class below can be fully restored by passing the
appropriate argument to the constructor. Therefore it is sufficient
to define the pickle interface method __getinitargs__.
For more information refer to boost/libs/python/doc/pickle.html.
