Description

@pschella

When a class with an overloaded copy constructor:

struct Bla {
    Bla() = default;
    explicit Bla(const Bla &, bool deep=true) { }
    explicit Bla(const Bla &, int i, std::string s="", bool deep=true) { }
};

wrapped as

    py::class_<Bla>(m, "Bla")
        .def(py::init<>())
        .def(py::init<const Bla &, bool>(),
                "other"_a, "deep"_a=true)
        .def(py::init<const Bla &, int, std::string, bool>(),
                "other"_a, "i"_a, "s"_a="", "deep"_a=true);

Is called with:

b = Bla()
c = Bla(b, 1, deep=False)

The error message reads: TypeError: __init__(): got multiple values for argument 'deep'. Which is confusing.
