I ran across a similar problem when I implemented my observable_value suggestion (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/06/123263.php) and wanted to write a generic operator<T>= for all operators (+=, /=, %= and so on).
The problem with operators of built-in types seems a bit related to those of constructors; you can't treat them as ordinary function pointers.
It'd be great if this proposed library could solve this "operator problem" too. IMHO, a solution to the operator problem is not near as important but if there is a general and not much more complicated solution to both, it would be great.
That would be something like DEFINE_FUNCTION_OBJECT_FOR_EXPRESSION(assign_op, 2, _1 += 2); and it's indeed implementable with C++0x. Regards, Tobias
