Subject: [boost] [functors] proposal

Hi, I've developed a small set of functors and functor adaptors.
Although this code is very simple it might be very useful for some subset
of the community.
Do you think it might become a part of the boost library?
If not I'm still very interested in any feedback.
I think it's not big enough to be a separate library.
To my knowledge of boost it fits in the utility lib.
The code can be found here:
https://github.com/wygos/functors
List of utilities:
SkipFunctor
takes any number of arguments; does completely nothing
ReturnSomethingFunctor<T,t>
takes any number of arguments; returns t;
IdentityFunctor
takes one parameter and returns it.
ReturnFalseFunctor
takes any number of arguments; returns false;
ReturnTrueFunctor
takes any number of arguments; returns true;
ReturnZeroFunctor
takes any number of arguments; returns 0;
AssertFunctor
takes any number of arguments; asserts;
ArrayToFunctor<Array>
Stores an object which provides operator[].
Provides operator()().
A set of non-template comparison functors (only operator() is templated):
* Greater
* Less
* GreaterEqual
* LessEqual
* EqualTo
* NotEqualTo
FunctorToComparator<Functor, Compare>
This comparator takes a functor "f" and a comparator "c".
For elements (x,y) it returns c(f(x), f(y))
c is Less by default
FunctorToOutputIterator<Functor>
The output iterator stores a functor and
each time the operator= is called the given functor is called
Logical operators as functors:
* Not
* Or
* And
* Xor
LiftBinaryOperatorFunctor<Operator, FunctorLeft, FunctorRight>
Functor stores a binary operator "o" and two functors "f" and "g".
For given arguments args returns o(f(args), g(args)).
Boolean functor adapters. Each of them stores a boolean functor
and performs an appropriate logical operation in the operator().
* NotFunctor<Functor>
* OrFunctor<FunctorLeft, FunctorRight>
* AndFunctor<FunctorLeft, FunctorRight>
* XorFunctor<FunctorLeft, FunctorRight>

Piotr
