Well, at least there is a ticket for that:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2240

FWIW, std::bind has its placeholders in std::placeholders namespace.

I wasn't aware that there was a std::bind - is this in the C++03 standard, or
one of the library technical reports?

(Any URL to the standard spec would be appreciated)
