I think this is the case with functors generated by bind -- they appear

Ouch. :-(
One option, which I don't like, is to "fix" bind to disable any operator() overloads that result in an invalid invocation of the bound function. That can be done easily with the is_callable_with metafunction in my curryable implementation, but would reduce portability somewhat.
That isn't "broken" behavior. Very often that is exactly what you want from bind.
Why would you prefer enabling operator() overloads of bind that result in a compiler error over "SFINAE-disabling" them? (Other than compile time considerations and minimizing complexity.) - Jeff
