You've just scratched the surface, and IMO, learned about the library in a way that I would not advice. To be honest, I never liked bind -- not a bit. If I did it my way, I'd write small modular phoenix functions just like you would in C++ or any FP language, but are fully curryable and lazy.
While Phoenix integrates very well with PFOs and operators, not so much with functions and structures. Forcing all C++ users to exclusively use PFOs is unrealistic; it also adds significant compile-time overhead compared to the use of template or overloaded functions. That notwithstanding, I'm still writing a source-to-source compiler where the target is C++ and all functions are PFOs, since that's required for functional programming in C++.
