[boost] Boost.Function Complaint - Unnecessary Duality

   typedef Arg1 argument_type;        // If N == 1

    typedef Arg1 first_argument_type;  // If N == 2
    typedef Arg2 second_argument_type; // If N == 2

What was the purpose in that? That assumes a template based library that
uses functors can actually differentiate between the two (easily, or at
all). Now my library cannot easily scale from 1 argument to 2! (And that
isn't a lot to ask for.)

It should have at least alilased argument_type to first_argument_type for N
== 1.
