This would require modification of GCC-XML to actually put the template 
arguments used for an instantiation in the output.  Here is an 
explanation of why this has not yet been done:

In the long term we'd like to get rid of CableSwig altogether and 
instead add a "%xml(gccxml)" option to native SWIG to pull in .xml 
source descriptions dumped by GCC-XML.  Then you'd be able to use all 
these nice SWIG features directly.  We have no time to do this right now 
but if you want to try it I can get you started.

Otherwise the only way to do this would be to modify CableSwig 
specifically to support these particular variables.
