Yes you'll have to write wrappers for these. Feel free to submit them 
for inclusion with future versions of SWIG. It shouldn't be too hard... 
you need to take the template method declarations you are interested in 
and put them in a library interface file. Then you'd use %template to 
wrap instances for the types you are interested in. What might be tricky 
is dealing with iterators as not all languages have wrappers that deal 
with iterators.
