Question: what are you testing - just that it compiles or that it
works? I guess just compilation at this stage, which is definitely
useful and OK for internal use, but might not be sufficient for a
public web page.

For example, call_traits reduces to a completely hobbled version
if no partial specialisation is available. So while it might
compile on such a platform, it's of very limited use, and I
wouldn't like to see any table published saying these platforms
were supported.

Which leads me to the next question: should I have followed
call_traits's lead and made functional.hpp compile with MSVC even
though the result is little or no better than the standard
adapters?
