And what is wrong with leaving bind in the boost namespace as I was suggesting and define boost::function like this:

namespace boost { namespace function_adl_block { template<class Sig> struct function {...}; } using function_adl_block::function; }

Now the "boost" namespace is no longer associated with boost::function, and boost::bind won't be found by ADL.

It's probably a good general policy to move most/all types in Boost into ADL-blocking namespaces like above, except those for which there is reason to keep boost as an associated namespace.

cool technique (for building more modular software / libs)!
