[Boost-users] When to use which functors?

I'm somewhat new to Boost, but pretty familiar with STL and Loki. I'm a bit
puzzled by the wide array of similar-sounding libraries in Boost for dealing
with function objects: Lambda, Function, Functional, and Bind/Mem_fn. Why
are there so many of these libraries and under what circumstances would I
want to choose one over the other? Thanks.
