I agree.

That's right. It's like boost::function except that it can have
more than one overload:

typedef mpl::list<int (int), double(double)> sigs;

multi_function<sigs> f = _1 + 1;

f(0);
f(0.0);

Yes. It would add another level of indirection, though.

Are you planning to use only function_call operation or all
operations? If the latter, I'm not familiar with values in
scheme/lisp to say whether dynamic_any fits or not.
