Description

Experience has shown that C++ signatures may change over time: often arguments are added. Unfortunately, boost python will not complain if developers forget to update the `bp` export code.

`make_function_aux` in [make_function.hpp](https://github.com/boostorg/python/blob/develop/include/boost/python/make_function.hpp) already contains a check that the user did not provide too many keywords.
It would be useful if we could enable a check to assert that the number of keywords always is exactly equal to the number of arguments.
