Subject: [boost] [function] Bind to std::function if supported?

The boost::move library binds to std::move/T&&/etc. when the compiler supports
such features, and only uses work-around mechanisms when the compiler lacks
such support.
Should we add similar support for boost::function?
something like:
#ifdef BOOST_FUNCTION_USE_STANDARD_LIBRARY_FUNCTION
// alternative: #ifndef BOOST_NO_CXX11_HDR_FUNCTIONAL
#include <functional>
namespace boost
{
using ::std::function;
}
#else
// whatever boost::function currently does
#endif
// ... something similar for boost::bind and std::bind
I haven't looked at boost::atomic yet, but we could also consider similar
bindings to std::atomic if the library doesn't already do so.
