The only solution would be to modify the bind function object so that its operator() refused to accept arguments that its bound function doesn't also accept. This can be done with SFINAE using something akin to can_be_called. I'm not suggesting that such a change be made to Boost.Bind, but it would have one advantage: if users try to pass unacceptable arguments, the resulting error would point to the offending line in *their* code rather than someplace deep in Boost.Bind. Can can_be_called become a first class Boost citizen in type_traits or some such ? Sounds like there is a substantial number of use cases in which it may help.
