In whole context "system header" defined as header file that belongs to
Boost.Python or to Py++. When I build code creators tree, in creator_t, I add
"include" directives to the module_t code creator. In all cases I know
whether they are
system headers or

When you use the functionality defined in the repository.

Take a look on array_1_registrator_t code creator and its construction
in creator_t class.

The namespace solves few problems:
1. pollution of global namespace
2. prevents Py++ functionality to conflict with user defined one
3. to say explicitly to the user that this code has been written by
Py++ developers and not
   by Boost.Python ( be careful :-) )
