On a reasonably conforming compiler, adding an overload to apply<> should 
work:
    template<class F, class A1, class A2, class A3>
        result_type operator()
        (F & f, A1 & a1, A2 & a2, A3 & a3) const
    {
        return f(a1, a2, a3);
    }
    // add this
    template<class M, class T, class A1, class A2, class A3>
        result_type operator()
        (M T::* pm, A1 & a1, A2 & a2, A3 & a3) const
    {
        return mem_fn(pm)(a1, a2, a3);
    }
It might be a good idea to add this to apply.hpp, but I would need to write 
a test for apply<> first.
