Ok thank you, I will post this on microsoft.public.vc.language.

About the other thing, I originally thinked about that. But what to specifiy, using the typedef's won't work either (see below):

int i; boost::tuple<int> data(27);

i = boost::tuples::get<0, boost::tuple<int>::head_type, boost::tuple<int>::tail_type>(data); //ok i = boost::bind(&boost::tuples::get<0, boost::tuple<int>::head_type, boost::tuple<int>::tail_type>, _1)(data); //error <snip>

Yes, I see, there's ambiguity as to whether this means template typename access_traits >::type> ::non_const_type get(cons & c); or template typename access_traits >::type> ::const_type get(const cons & c); You can resolve the ambiguity by writing: typedef const int & const_int_getter( const boost::tuple<int>::inherited &); i = boost::bind(static_cast(&boost::get<0>), _1) (data);
