No. Herb requested that function<> be EqualityComparable so that he could
write a C++ class template with nearly the same syntax/semantics as .NET
delegates. For instance, one could have a delegate such that:
void foo(int,int);
void bar(int,int);
delegate<void(int, int)> del;
del += &foo;
del += &bar;
del -= &bar; // removes bar
del += &foo; // ignores double-attach
