Got an initial version together which is (AFAIK, hopefully) worth
looking at.
If there is still interest in a submission, I need to know where to put it.
{CVS/ftp/scp [need an account then], mail [need to know where], my web
server [not sure this is legal since parts are based on code written by
other boost authors] }

Inspired by people on the list and in depth analysis of the existing
library code, the objective of
"adding something like function_traits, but for member function pointers"
has evolved to
"providing a set of metafunctions conforming to the concepts commonly
used troughout the library (such as type-trait,bool-trait,...) to
classify and decompose function pointer types"
According to the review docs this seems to be a fast-track candidate,
however I would very much welcome anyone willing to build an example
program with some compilers not tested with so far, before formally
requesting for review.

Tobias
