can it be used for multimethods ?

Doesn't seem like it. It uses a single value to dispatch so it's the same thing as single dispatch. Shouldn't be impossible to dispatch based on multiple values though.

Do you know something that does multimethods? I have written my own multimethods library, based on "Modern C++ Design" by Andrei Alexandrescu. I use it in my prject, yade. But I'm looking forward for some boost replacement, anybody working on it?

I don't know of anything useful. Aren't typical implementations of multimethods in C++ quite slow?
