Dear Boost community,

do we have a function object template to wrap arbitrary constructor calls / operator new expressions somewhere in Boost, already?

Yes, it's in_place.

Well, that's not quite the same: The in_place stuff deals with in-place construction (hence the name), which is a different pair of shoes. It's not applicable to the use cases outlined in my previous post, since it doesn't (and probably wouldn't make sense to) provide a function object interface (since it has to know the memory location where the object should be constructed).
