Here's one. In the docs, you say:
(Now is a good time to mention that FC++ supports functoids of 0-3 parameters. The fullN, funN, and c_fun_type classes have only been defined for functions of up to three arguments.)
Why only three? Experience with Phoenix with Spirit shows

Experience with FC++ has shown that it is enough. But I suppose it all depends on what domains/problems you are working on. :)
Why hard-code the limit? I used to hate the preprocessor, but now, I always use boost.preprocessor to generate redundant code, hence, not having a hard coded arity limit. Is there a technical problem not to support more?
Probably not; I just have not done the work. (There are only so many hours you can spend "boostifying" before you decide it's time to stop and put the library up for review.)
(Actually, if you look at the code for "full3" http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~yannis/fc++/FC++.1.5/full.h I am not sure that the currying stuff can be so easily macro-ized. But maybe.)
It looks like it would be pretty easy. Do you want me to do it for you? Regards, Paul Mensonides
