Any chance of incorporating

into boost::function for the 1.35.1 release? Here is a link to my implementation, including a SVN patch file:

I've tested with MSVC 8 and 9, and with gcc 3.4.4.
Funny, we haven't even released 1.35 yet, and you're already assuming we'll need a point release. ;-) It's too late to add new features for 1.35, and a point release is for bug fixes only, so I'd imagine the earliest somthing like this can go in would be 1.36.
Yes, especially since Function is depended upon by several other libraries. For 1.35, we'll put in a warning noting that the next version will have a source-incompatible change (the removal of the Allocator parameter) to bring it into line with C++0x semantics. We'll make the change in 1.36.
Good. Making source-incompatible changes for 1.35.0 isn't acceptable. --Beman
