I think I've mentioned that I have such a "overloads" library extension in my HD somewhere. At one point, I asked Doug on the possibility of adding it to boost.function and he expressed his interest. Of course that means documentation and stuff. I'll try to see if I can squeeze some time to get this into completion. At any rate, I can post the code sans docs.

Ok, here's the proof of concept:
I took a look, and I think this definitely has great potential. :) I'll try my hand at trying to document the concepts, and maybe extending it. I might be wrong though, but it seems that the implementation is limited to 4 overloads to suit the test case. This is understandable, and I think I can try making this more generic (up to 10, just like tuples, or with Boost.PP) and perhaps document the concept for Boost.Function. Thanks for the sample! I definitely think this makes life a bit easier for those who need this functionality. I'll also try my hand at making the assignment operator smarter, and perhaps do away with the set<> member template method. Wish me luck. :D -- Dean Michael C.
