Thanks. It maybe could find a home outside the Dataflow library at
some point (I certainly don't mind using it from someplace else), but
as-is it probably wouldn't fit boost.bind - it returns a
boost::function rather than a bind object, and it expects the object
to be passed by reference rather than wrapped in a boost::ref or sent
as a pointer or by value (that way works better for me, but goes
against boost.bind convention). It also has a dependency on
function_types...
I think it's one of those glue things that doesn't have a clear home
:-( But I agree it would be good to find it one that's less specific
than the Dataflow lib.
Cheers,
