I see nothing Python specific there. Why was this change made?

As much as possible, we should NOT insert language-specific tags in this
SWIG stuff. That just introduces duplication and, thus, dual maintenance
problems.

Heck, I'm hoping that we might find some patterns in the Java vs Python SWIG
typemaps. If we *do*, then we could create some SWIG macros to deal with
those differences, and then unify some typemaps. Just gotta wait and see
where we end up...
